Decilitres per second to Litres per hour conversion

How to convert decilitres per second to litres per hour?

To convert decilitres per second (dL/s) to litres per hour (L/h), follow the steps below:

1. Understand the Units:

   • 1 decilitre (dL) = 0.1 litres (L).
   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

2. Conversion Factor:

   • Since 1 dL = 0.1 L, you will multiply by 0.1 to convert dL to L.
   • To convert a rate per second to a rate per hour, you will multiply by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour).

3. Conversion Calculation:

   • Given: 1 dL/s
   • Convert dL to L: 1 dL/s → 0.1 L/s
   • Convert per second to per hour: $0.1 \, L/s \times 3600 \, s/h = 360 \, L/h$

So, 1 dL/s is equivalent to 360 L/h.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities:

2 dL/s:

• Convert dL to L: 2 dL/s → 0.2 L/s
• Convert per second to per hour: $0.2 \, L/s \times 3600 \, s/h = 720 \, L/h$

0.5 dL/s:

• Convert dL to L: 0.5 dL/s → 0.05 L/s
• Convert per second to per hour: $0.05 \, L/s \times 3600 \, s/h = 180 \, L/h$

10 dL/s:

• Convert dL to L: 10 dL/s → 1 L/s
• Convert per second to per hour: $1 \, L/s \times 3600 \, s/h = 3600 \, L/h$

Real World Context:

• 1 dL/s (360 L/h): This could be the flow rate of a small industrial pump used to transfer liquids in a manufacturing process.
• 2 dL/s (720 L/h): A fire hose might have a similar flow rate when fighting small fires.
• 0.5 dL/s (180 L/h): This rate could be comparable to a garden hose filling a large pool.
• 10 dL/s (3600 L/h): This could be the rate at which water is supplied to a large fountain or used in a water treatment facility.
