Fluid Ounces per hour to Cubic Millimeters per second conversion

How to convert fluid ounces per hour to cubic millimeters per second?

To convert Fluid Ounces per hour to Cubic Millimeters per second, you need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Understanding the units involved

1. Fluid Ounce (US): 1 US fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters (mL).
2. Hour to Seconds: 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

Step 2: Conversion formula

To convert from Fluid Ounces per hour to Cubic Millimeters per second, use the following steps:

1. Convert Fluid Ounces to Milliliters.
2. Convert Milliliters to Cubic Millimeters.
3. Convert Hours to Seconds.

Conversion Process

1. Fluid Ounces to Milliliters: $1 \text{ Fluid Ounce} = 29.5735 \text{ mL}$

2. Milliliters to Cubic Millimeters (since 1 mL = 1000 cubic millimeters): $1 \text{ mL} = 1000 \text{ mm}^3$

3. Hours to Seconds: $1 \text{ hour} = 3600 \text{ seconds}$

Putting it together

$1 \text{ Fluid Ounce per hour} = 29.5735 \text{ mL/hour}$ $29.5735 \text{ mL/hour} = 29.5735 \times 1000 \text{ mm}^3/\text{hour}$ $= 29573.5 \text{ mm}^3/\text{hour}$

To convert this to per second: $\frac{29573.5 \text{ mm}^3}{3600 \text{ seconds}}$ $= 8.2154 \text{ mm}^3/\text{second}$

Therefore, 1 Fluid Ounce per hour is approximately 8.2154 Cubic Millimeters per second.

Real World Examples:

1. Low Fluid Flow in IV Drip: An IV drip might administer fluid at a rate of around 1 to 3 fluid ounces per hour to keep a patient hydrated.

   • 1 Fluid Ounce per hour = 8.2154 Cubic Millimeters per second.
   • 3 Fluid Ounces per hour = 3 × 8.2154 = 24.6462 Cubic Millimeters per second.

2. Water Leak: A small water leak might drip at around 5 fluid ounces per hour.

   • 5 Fluid Ounces per hour = 5 × 8.2154 = 41.077 Cubic Millimeters per second.

3. Microbrewery Operations: A microbrewery might pump a liquid at around 20 fluid ounces per hour in certain stages.

   • 20 Fluid Ounces per hour = 20 × 8.2154 = 164.308 Cubic Millimeters per second.

These real-world examples illustrate how different quantities of Fluid Ounces per hour can correlate to particular operational volumes or flow rates in various practical settings.
