Cubic yards per hour to Litres per second conversion

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

To convert from cubic yards per hour to liters per second, you need to understand the conversion factors between these units. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Convert Cubic Yards to Liters:

   • 1 cubic yard (yd³) is equal to 764.554857984 liters (L).

2. Convert Hours to Seconds:

   • 1 hour (hr) is equal to 3600 seconds (s).

So, to convert 1 cubic yard per hour (yd³/hr) to liters per second (L/s), we use these conversions as follows:

$1 \, \text{yd}^3/\text{hr} \times \frac{764.554857984 \, \text{L}}{1 \, \text{yd}^3} \times \frac{1 \, \text{hr}}{3600 \, \text{s}}$

Simplifying the multiplication:

$1 \, \text{yd}^3/\text{hr} = \frac{764.554857984}{3600} \, \text{L/s}$

$1 \, \text{yd}^3/\text{hr} \approx 0.2123763494 \, \text{L/s}$

Therefore, 1 cubic yard per hour is approximately 0.2124 liters per second.

Real World Examples

To give some context with other quantities:

Example 1: 10 Cubic yards per hour $10 \, \text{yd}^3/\text{hr} = 10 \times 0.2123763494 \, \text{L/s} \approx 2.123763494 \, \text{L/s}$

10 cubic yards per hour is approximately 2.12 liters per second.

Example 2: 50 Cubic yards per hour $50 \, \text{yd}^3/\text{hr} = 50 \times 0.2123763494 \, \text{L/s} \approx 10.61881747 \, \text{L/s}$

50 cubic yards per hour is approximately 10.62 liters per second.

Example 3: 100 Cubic yards per hour $100 \, \text{yd}^3/\text{hr} = 100 \times 0.2123763494 \, \text{L/s} \approx 21.23763494 \, \text{L/s}$

100 cubic yards per hour is approximately 21.24 liters per second.

These conversions can be especially useful in fields like construction, landscaping, or any area where large volumes of material movement are common. For instance, a concrete mixer might have a certain throughput that needs to be converted to better understand how much material is processed in a smaller or larger unit of time.
