Decilitres per second to Cubic feet per second conversion

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

Certainly! Let's start with the conversion of 1 decilitre per second (dL/s) to cubic feet per second (ft³/s).

Conversion Factors:

1. Decilitre to Cubic Meter (m³)

   • 1 decilitre (dL) = 0.0001 cubic meters (m³)

2. Cubic Meter to Cubic Feet (ft³)

   • 1 cubic meter (m³) = 35.3147 cubic feet (ft³)

Conversion Steps:

1. Convert decilitres to cubic meters: $1 \text{ dL/s} = 1 \times 0.0001 \text{ m³/s} = 0.0001 \text{ m³/s}$

2. Convert cubic meters to cubic feet: $0.0001 \text{ m³/s} \times 35.3147 \text{ ft³/m³} = 0.00353147 \text{ ft³/s}$

So, 1 decilitre per second is equivalent to approximately 0.00353147 cubic feet per second (ft³/s).

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Decilitres per Second:

1. 5 decilitres per second (dL/s):

   • Multiply the base conversion by 5.
   • $5 \text{ dL/s} \times 0.00353147 \text{ ft³/s per dL/s} = 0.01765735 \text{ ft³/s}$
   • Example: A small pond fountain might pump water at this rate.

2. 10 decilitres per second (dL/s):

   • $10 \text{ dL/s} \times 0.00353147 \text{ ft³/s per dL/s} = 0.0353147 \text{ ft³/s}$
   • Example: A garden hose can typically output water in this range when fully opened.

3. 50 decilitres per second (dL/s):

   • $50 \text{ dL/s} \times 0.00353147 \text{ ft³/s per dL/s} = 0.1765735 \text{ ft³/s}$
   • Example: The discharge rate of a small to medium-sized water pump used to empty swimming pools.

4. 100 decilitres per second (dL/s):

   • $100 \text{ dL/s} \times 0.00353147 \text{ ft³/s per dL/s} = 0.353147 \text{ ft³/s}$
   • Example: Industrial applications like fire hoses often have flow rates in this range.

By understanding these conversions, you can more easily conceptualize and compare different flow rates in various contexts, whether for industrial, environmental, or household applications.
