Fluid Ounces per hour to Cubic yards per second conversion

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

To convert fluid ounces per hour (fl oz/hr) to cubic yards per second (yd³/s), you need to follow a series of unit conversions: from fluid ounces to cubic yards, and from hours to seconds. Here’s the step-by-step process:

Conversion Steps:

1. Convert fluid ounces to cubic yards:

   • There are $1$ US fluid ounce = $2.95735296 \times 10^{-5}$ cubic yards.
   • Thus, $1$ fl oz * $2.95735296 \times 10^{-5}$ yd³/fl oz = $2.95735296 \times 10^{-5}$ yd³.

2. Convert hours to seconds:

   • There are $3600$ seconds in $1$ hour.
   • So, $1$ hour = $3600$ seconds.

3. Combine the conversions:

   • We need to convert $1$ fl oz/hr to yd³/s.
   • $(2.95735296 \times 10^{-5} \text{ yd³}) / 3600 \text{ s} = 8.21486933 \times 10^{-9}$ yd³/s.

Hence, $1$ fl oz/hr is approximately $8.21486933 \times 10^{-9}$ cubic yards per second.

Real-World Examples:

1. A Small Drip:

   • Suppose a small drip from a faucet is measured to be $1$ fl oz/hr. As we calculated above, this flow rate would be approximately $8.21486933 \times 10^{-9}$ yd³/s.

2. Irrigation System:

   • An irrigation system might have a drip rate of $32$ fl oz/hr for each plant. Converting this:
     • 32 fl oz/hr * $8.21486933 \times 10^{-9}$ yd³/s = $2.62875818 \times 10^{-7}$ yd³/s.

3. Personal Water Bottle Use:

   • If someone drinks from a water bottle at a rate of $10$ fl oz/hr:
     • 10 fl oz/hr * $8.21486933 \times 10^{-9}$ yd³/s = $8.21486933 \times 10^{-8}$ yd³/s.

Using these conversions, you can determine flow rates for various real-world systems and activities in terms of cubic yards per second.
