Decilitres per second to Cubic feet per hour conversion

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

To convert from decilitres per second (dL/s) to cubic feet per hour (ft³/hr), you'll need to follow a series of unit conversions. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Understand the basic conversions:

   • 1 decilitre (dL) = 0.1 litres (L)
   • 1 litre (L) = 0.001 cubic meters (m³)
   • 1 cubic meter (m³) = 35.3147 cubic feet (ft³)

2. Convert decilitres to litres:

   • 1 dL/s = 0.1 L/s

3. Convert litres per second to cubic meters per second:

   • 0.1 L/s = 0.1 * 0.001 m³/s = 0.0001 m³/s

4. Convert cubic meters per second to cubic feet per second:

   • 0.0001 m³/s = 0.0001 * 35.3147 ft³/s ≈ 0.00353147 ft³/s

5. Convert cubic feet per second to cubic feet per hour:

   • 0.00353147 ft³/s * 3600 s/hr ≈ 12.7133 ft³/hr

So, 1 dL/s is approximately 12.7133 ft³/hr.

Real-World Examples for Different Quantities of Decilitres per Second:

1. 0.5 dL/s:

   • Half the rate of 1 dL/s.
   • 0.5 dL/s = 0.5 * 12.7133 ft³/hr ≈ 6.35665 ft³/hr.
   • Example: A small garden fountain may flow at around 0.5 dL/s.

2. 2 dL/s:

   • Double the rate of 1 dL/s.
   • 2 dL/s = 2 * 12.7133 ft³/hr ≈ 25.4266 ft³/hr.
   • Example: Water discharge from a household faucet turned on fully might be in this ballpark.

3. 10 dL/s:

   • Ten times the rate of 1 dL/s.
   • 10 dL/s = 10 * 12.7133 ft³/hr ≈ 127.133 ft³/hr.
   • Example: A small industrial pump used for draining areas could have a flow rate around this level.

4. 20 dL/s:

   • Twenty times the rate of 1 dL/s.
   • 20 dL/s = 20 * 12.7133 ft³/hr ≈ 254.266 ft³/hr.
   • Example: A fire hose could have a flow rate close to this.

These examples illustrate how varying flow rates can be applied to different practical scenarios, from small garden features to industrial machinery and emergency equipment.
