Cups per second to Cubic feet per hour conversion

How to convert cups per second to cubic feet per hour?

To convert cups per second to cubic feet per hour, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert cups to cubic feet:

   • 1 US cup = 0.0625 US gallons.
   • 1 US gallon = 0.133681 cubic feet.

   Therefore, $1 \text{ cup} = 0.0625 \text{ gallons}$ $0.0625 \text{ gallons} \times 0.133681 \text{ cubic feet per gallon} = 0.0083550625 \text{ cubic feet}$

2. Convert from seconds to hours:

   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

3. Combine the conversions:

   • 1 cup per second = 0.0083550625 cubic feet per second.
   • Convert cubic feet per second to cubic feet per hour:

   $0.0083550625 \text{ cubic feet per second} \times 3600 \text{ seconds per hour} = 30.078225 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

So, 1 cup per second is equivalent to 30.078225 cubic feet per hour.

Real-World Examples:

Here are some additional quantities of cups per second and their equivalent in cubic feet per hour:

1. 0.5 cups per second: $0.5 \text{ cups per second} \times 30.078225 \text{ cubic feet per hour} = 15.0391125 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

2. 2 cups per second: $2 \text{ cups per second} \times 30.078225 \text{ cubic feet per hour} = 60.15645 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

3. 3 cups per second: $3 \text{ cups per second} \times 30.078225 \text{ cubic feet per hour} = 90.234675 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

4. 10 cups per second: $10 \text{ cups per second} \times 30.078225 \text{ cubic feet per hour} = 300.78225 \text{ cubic feet per hour}$

Practical Application:

Let's say you're trying to understand the flow rate of water in a kitchen sink that delivers about 0.5 cups per second:

• Flow rate: 0.5 cups per second.
• Conversion: 15.0391125 cubic feet per hour.

Understanding this in cubic feet per hour can help in calculating water usage over an extended period or in system designs where cubic feet per hour is the more relevant unit.
