Gallons per hour to Centilitres per second conversion

How to convert gallons per hour to centilitres per second?

Sure, let's walk through the conversion of 1 Gallon per Hour (GPH) to Centiliters per Second (cL/s).

Conversion Factors and Steps

1. Convert Hours to Seconds:

   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds

2. Convert Gallons to Liters:

   • 1 US gallon = 3.78541 liters

3. Convert Liters to Centiliters:

   • 1 liter = 100 centiliters

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Gallons per Hour to Gallons per Second:

   • 1 Gallon per Hour = 1 Gallon / 3600 Seconds
   • $\frac{1 \text{ Gallon}}{3600 \text{ seconds}} \approx 0.00027778$ Gallons per Second

2. Gallons to Liters:

   • $0.00027778 \text{ Gallons per Second} \times 3.78541 \text{ Liters per Gallon} \approx 0.00105 \text{ Liters per Second}$

3. Liters to Centiliters:

   • $0.00105 \text{ Liters per Second} \times 100 \text{ Centiliters per Liter} \approx 0.105 \text{ Centiliters per Second}$

So, 1 Gallon per Hour is approximately 0.105 Centiliters per Second.

Real-World Examples

1. Fuel Consumption in Cars:

   • Typical fuel consumption rates might be around 30 miles per gallon.
   • This translates to about $120$ Gallons per Hour for a car driving at 60 miles per hour.

2. Aquarium Pumps:

   • Small aquarium pumps might operate at 50 to 500 GPH depending on size and type.

3. Irrigation Systems:

   • Drip irrigation emitters might release water at rates of 0.5 to 4 GPH.

4. Household Water Heaters:

   • Water heaters might have flow rates around 2 to 14 GPH for tank-based systems.

5. Garden Hoses:

   • A typical garden hose might have flow rates around 200 to 500 GPH, depending on the pressure and hose diameter.

These examples help to illustrate the varied applications and flow rates you might encounter in everyday scenarios.
