How to convert cubic yards per second to cubic kilometers per second?

To convert 1 cubic yard per second (yd³/s) to cubic kilometers per second (km³/s), you need to understand the relationship between the units.

1 yard (yd) = 0.9144 meters (m) 1 meter = 0.001 kilometers (km) Therefore, 1 yard = 0.0009144 kilometers.

Since the units in the volume formula are cubed, you need to cube the conversion factor:

(1 yard)³ = (0.0009144 kilometers)³ 1 yd³ = 0.000000000763554857984 cubic kilometers (km³)

Thus, to convert 1 cubic yard per second to cubic kilometers per second:

1 yd³/s = 0.000000000763554857984 km³/s

For practical purposes, this can be written as:

1 yd³/s ≈ 7.64 x 10⁻¹⁰ km³/s

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Cubic Yards per Second:

Example 1: River Flow

  • The Amazon River is one of the largest rivers in the world by discharge volume. It has an average discharge of about 209,000 cubic meters per second.
  • To compare this in cubic yards per second: 1 cubic meter ≈ 1.30795 cubic yards 209,000 cubic meters/second ≈ 273,360 cubic yards/second

Example 2: Waterfall Discharge

  • Niagara Falls has a flow rate of approximately 85,000 cubic feet per second.
  • To convert this to cubic yards (since 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet): 85,000 cubic feet per second * (1 cubic yard/27 cubic feet) ≈ 3,148 cubic yards per second

Example 3: Industrial Pump

  • An industrial pump might have a discharge rate of 50 cubic yards per minute.
  • To convert this to seconds: 50 cubic yards per minute * (1 minute/60 seconds) ≈ 0.833 cubic yards per second

These examples offer an idea of how different flow rates measure in cubic yards per second, ranging from massive natural phenomena like river flows and waterfalls down to industrial applications.

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Cubic kilometers per second to other unit conversions.

What is cubic yards per second?

A unit of measurement that's quite specific and technical!

Cubic yards per second (yd³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate, which represents the volume of fluid flowing through a given area in one second.

To break it down:

  • Cubic yard (yd³) is a unit of volume, equivalent to 27 cubic feet or 764.5 liters.
  • Per second (s) indicates the time period over which the volume is measured.

So, if you have a flow rate of 1 cubic yard per second, that means 1 cubic yard (or approximately 0.76 cubic meters) of fluid passes through a given area in one second.

This unit is commonly used to express the flow rates of fluids in engineering and scientific applications, particularly in fields like hydraulics, hydrology, and environmental science.

What is cubic kilometers per second?

A unit of measurement!

Cubic kilometers per second (km³/s) is a unit of volume flow rate. It measures the amount of water or any other fluid that flows through a given area in one second, expressed as a volume.

To put it into perspective:

  • 1 cubic kilometer (km³) is equivalent to about 4.43 trillion liters (L) or 1.38 billion gallons.
  • So, 1 km³/s means that 1 cubic kilometer of water (or another fluid) flows through an area in just one second.

This unit is commonly used to express the discharge rate of rivers, reservoirs, and other large bodies of water, as well as the flow rates of industrial processes like power plants or manufacturing facilities.
