Cubic yards per hour to Cubic meters per second conversion

How to convert cubic yards per hour to cubic meters per second?

To convert from cubic yards per hour (yd³/hr) to cubic meters per second (m³/s), we'll follow a series of conversion steps.

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Convert cubic yards to cubic meters:

   1 cubic yard is equivalent to approximately 0.764554857984 cubic meters.

2. Convert hours to seconds:

   1 hour is equivalent to 3600 seconds.

3. Combine the conversions:

   $\text{1 yd³/hr} \times \left(\frac{0.764554857984 \text{ m³}}{1 \text{ yd³}}\right) \times \left(\frac{1 \text{ hr}}{3600 \text{ s}}\right)$

4. Calculate the conversion:

   $\frac{0.764554857984 \text{ m³}}{3600 \text{ s}} \approx 2.12376 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m³/s}$

So, $\text{1 Cubic yard per hour (yd³/hr) ≈ 0.000212376 m³/s}$

Real-World Examples

1. Small Flow: The coolant fluid flow rate in some small HVAC systems might be approximately 5 Cubic yards per hour.

   • Conversion: $5 \text{ yd³/hr} = 5 \times 0.000212376 \text{ m³/s} = 0.00106188 \text{ m³/s}$

2. Vehicle Fuel Flow Rate: A gasoline station pump might dispense fuel at about 10 Cubic yards per hour.

   • Conversion: $10 \text{ yd³/hr} = 10 \times 0.000212376 \text{ m³/s} = 0.00212376 \text{ m³/s}$

3. Water Extraction: A small water extraction pump might have a flow rate of 20 Cubic yards per hour.

   • Conversion: $20 \text{ yd³/hr} = 20 \times 0.000212376 \text{ m³/s} = 0.00424752 \text{ m³/s}$

4. Mid-Sized Industrial System: An industrial wastewater treatment plant might process 100 Cubic yards per hour.

   • Conversion: $100 \text{ yd³/hr} = 100 \times 0.000212376 \text{ m³/s} = 0.0212376 \text{ m³/s}$

Summary

To convert cubic yards per hour to cubic meters per second, remember: $1 \text{ yd³/hr} \approx 0.000212376 \text{ m³/s}$

Using this conversion factor, you can easily compute the corresponding flow rates for various values of cubic yards per hour in real-world settings.
