Cups per second to Litres per hour conversion

How to convert cups per second to litres per hour?

To convert from cups per second to liters per hour, you need to follow a few conversion steps:

1. Convert Cups to Liters:

   • 1 cup = 0.236588 liters (using the US customary system; note that this value might be different in other systems, like the UK or Canadian cup).

2. Convert Seconds to Hours:

   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

Now, let's perform the conversion step-by-step.

1. Convert cups per second to cups per hour:

   • Since there are 3600 seconds in an hour, multiply the number of cups per second by 3600. $\text{Cups per hour} = \text{Cups per second} \times 3600$

2. Convert cups per hour to liters per hour:

   • Multiply the result by the conversion factor from cups to liters (0.236588 liters per cup). $\text{Liters per hour} = \text{Cups per hour} \times 0.236588$

Using the given rate of 1 cup per second:

1. Convert cups per second to cups per hour: $1 \text{ cup/sec} \times 3600 \text{ sec/hr} = 3600 \text{ cups/hr}$

2. Convert cups per hour to liters per hour: $3600 \text{ cups/hr} \times 0.236588 \text{ L/cup} = 850.5168 \text{ L/hr}$

So, 1 cup per second is equivalent to approximately 850.5168 liters per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Cups per Second

Here are some real-world examples for other quantities, to help you get a sense of scale:

• 0.5 Cups per Second: $0.5 \text{ cup/sec} \times 3600 \text{ sec/hr} = 1800 \text{ cups/hr}$ $1800 \text{ cups/hr} \times 0.236588 \text{ L/cup} = 425.2584 \text{ L/hr}$ So, 0.5 cups per second is equivalent to approximately 425.2584 liters per hour.

• 2 Cups per Second: $2 \text{ cup/sec} \times 3600 \text{ sec/hr} = 7200 \text{ cups/hr}$ $7200 \text{ cups/hr} \times 0.236588 \text{ L/cup} = 1701.0336 \text{ L/hr}$ So, 2 cups per second is equivalent to approximately 1701.0336 liters per hour.

• 0.1 Cups per Second: $0.1 \text{ cup/sec} \times 3600 \text{ sec/hr} = 360 \text{ cups/hr}$ $360 \text{ cups/hr} \times 0.236588 \text{ L/cup} = 85.05168 \text{ L/hr}$ So, 0.1 cups per second is equivalent to approximately 85.05168 liters per hour.

These conversions can help contextualize everyday scenarios such as water flow from taps, pumps, or even beverage dispensing systems in cafes or restaurants. For example, understanding flow rates can be crucial in engineering, cooking, and even managing beverage services at large events.
