How to convert gallons per hour to cubic inches per second?

Sure! To convert gallons per hour (GPH) to cubic inches per second (in³/s), you need to know the conversion factors between the units.

Conversion Factors:
- 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches.
- 1 hour = 3600 seconds.
Conversion Process:
- First, express the volume in cubic inches. Since 1 gallon is 231 cubic inches, 1 GPH is equivalent to 231 cubic inches per hour.
- Next, convert the time from hours to seconds. Since 1 hour is 3600 seconds, you need to divide the volume (in cubic inches) by the number of seconds in an hour to get the flow rate in cubic inches per second (in³/s).

So, the conversion is as follows:

$1 \, \text{GPH} = \frac{231 \, \text{in}³}{3600 \, \text{s}} \approx 0.06417 \, \text{in}³/\text{s}$

Real-world Examples

Garden Hose:
- A typical garden hose might have a flow rate of about 300 GPH.
- Conversion: $300 \, \text{GPH} = 300 \times \frac{231 \, \text{in}³}{3600 \, \text{s}} \approx 19.25 \, \text{in}³/\text{s}$
Residential Water Heater:
- A standard residential water heater might have a flow rate of around 1000 GPH.
- Conversion: $1000 \, \text{GPH} = 1000 \times \frac{231 \, \text{in}³}{3600 \, \text{s}} \approx 64.17 \, \text{in}³/\text{s}$
Aquarium Pump:
- An aquarium pump might have a flow rate of about 200 GPH.
- Conversion: $200 \, \text{GPH} = 200 \times \frac{231 \, \text{in}³}{3600 \, \text{s}} \approx 12.83 \, \text{in}³/\text{s}$
Fire Hose:
- A fire hose might have a flow rate of around 10000 GPH.
- Conversion: $10000 \, \text{GPH} = 10000 \times \frac{231 \, \text{in}³}{3600 \, \text{s}} \approx 641.7 \, \text{in}³/\text{s}$

By using these conversion principles and factors, you can easily translate gallons per hour into cubic inches per second for various applications.

What is Gallons per hour?

Gallons per hour measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.

Flow rate can be calculated using following formula. Please note that $t$ is in hours and $Q$ 's unit of measure is gal/hour

Q = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{A*d}{t}

$Q$ - Flow rate
$V$ - Volume (Gallons)
$t$ - Time in hours $A$ - Cross-sectional area
$d$ - Distance the fluid traveled during the time $t$

For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.

What is cubic inches per second?

A very specific and technical term!

Cubic inches per second (in³/s) is a unit of measurement for volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of fluid (such as air, water, or gas) that flows through a given area in one second.

In other words, if you know the flow rate in cubic inches per second, you can calculate the volume of fluid that passes through a particular point or pipe in one second.

To put this into perspective, here are some examples of volumetric flow rates and their equivalent values:

A typical household faucet flows at around 2-4 gallons per minute (gpm). This translates to approximately 0.02-0.04 cubic feet per second (ft³/s) or 1.3-2.6 cubic inches per second (in³/s).
The exhaust flow rate of a car engine is often measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm), which can be converted to cubic inches per second.
In industrial applications, such as air handling systems, flow rates are often specified in cubic meters per hour (m³/h) or liters per minute (L/min), which can also be expressed as cubic inches per second.

Keep in mind that the choice of unit depends on the specific application and industry, but cubic inches per second is a useful measure for many fluid dynamics calculations.
