Fluid Ounces per second to Cubic inches per hour conversion

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

To convert fluid ounces per second (fl oz/s) to cubic inches per hour (in³/hr), we can follow these steps:

1. Understand the conversion factors:

   • 1 fluid ounce (US) = 1.80469 cubic inches.
   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

2. Set up the conversion from fluid ounces per second to cubic inches per second:

   • Since 1 fl oz = 1.80469 in³,
   • $1 \text{ fl oz/s} = 1 \times 1.80469 \text{ in³/s} = 1.80469 \text{ in³/s}$.

3. Convert cubic inches per second to cubic inches per hour:

   • $1 \text{ in³/s} = 1 \times 3600 \text{ in³/hr}$,
   • So, $1.80469 \text{ in³/s} = 1.80469 \times 3600 \text{ in³/hr}$.

4. Calculate the final result:

   • $1.80469 \times 3600 = 6496.884 \text{ in³/hr}$.

Therefore, 1 fluid ounce per second is equal to 6496.884 cubic inches per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Fluid Ounces per Second

1. 0.5 fl oz/s:

   • First, convert to cubic inches per second:
     • $0.5 \text{ fl oz/s} = 0.5 \times 1.80469 \text{ in³/s} = 0.902345 \text{ in³/s}$.
   • Then convert to cubic inches per hour:
     • $0.902345 \text{ in³/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 3248.442 \text{ in³/hr}$.

2. 2 fl oz/s:

   • Convert to cubic inches per second:
     • $2 \text{ fl oz/s} = 2 \times 1.80469 \text{ in³/s} = 3.60938 \text{ in³/s}$.
   • Convert to cubic inches per hour:
     • $3.60938 \text{ in³/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 12993.768 \text{ in³/hr}$.

3. 5 fl oz/s:

   • Convert to cubic inches per second:
     • $5 \text{ fl oz/s} = 5 \times 1.80469 \text{ in³/s} = 9.02345 \text{ in³/s}$.
   • Convert to cubic inches per hour:
     • $9.02345 \text{ in³/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 32484.42 \text{ in³/hr}$.

These conversions help in various real-world scenarios, such as engineering applications, fluid dynamics, and flow measurement in pipelines, where different units may be more convenient or standard per industry practice. For instance, 2 fl oz/s might be a relevant flow rate for a beverage dispensing machine, whereas 5 fl oz/s could represent a significant flow in industrial fluid processing.
