Gallons per hour to Cubic Millimeters per second conversion

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

To convert Gallons per hour (GPH) to Cubic Millimeters per second (mm³/s), you need to know the conversion factors between the units involved.

Here is the step-by-step conversion process:

1. Convert Gallons to Cubic Inches: 1 US gallon = 231 cubic inches (in³).

2. Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Millimeters: 1 cubic inch = 16,387.064 cubic millimeters (mm³).

3. Convert Hours to Seconds: 1 hour = 3,600 seconds.

Now, let's calculate the conversion:

Step 1: Convert Gallons to Cubic Inches

1 gallon/hour = 1 gallon * 231 in³/gallon = 231 in³/hour

Step 2: Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Millimeters

231 in³/hour * 16,387.064 mm³/in³ = 3,787,457.784 mm³/hour

Step 3: Convert Hours to Seconds

3,787,457.784 mm³/hour / 3,600 seconds/hour ≈ 1,052.0716 mm³/second

So, 1 Gallon per hour (GPH) is approximately equal to 1,052.0716 Cubic Millimeters per second (mm³/s).

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Gallons per Hour:

1. Aquarium Filters: Many aquarium filters have a flow rate in the range of 100-400 GPH. A 200 GPH filter would convert to: 200 GPH * 1,052.0716 mm³/s ≈ 210,414.32 mm³/s (approx).

2. Residential Water Heaters: A typical residential water heater may have an output rate of around 30-40 GPH. For a 35 GPH heater: 35 GPH * 1,052.0716 mm³/s ≈ 36,822.506 mm³/s (approx).

3. Agricultural Sprayers: Agricultural sprayers often have flow rates ranging from 1 to 20 GPH. A 10 GPH sprayer would convert to: 10 GPH * 1,052.0716 mm³/s ≈ 10,520.716 mm³/s (approx).

4. Fuel Pumps: A typical automotive fuel pump for a car might deliver fuel at a rate of around 30 GPH. This would convert to: 30 GPH * 1,052.0716 mm³/s ≈ 31,562.148 mm³/s (approx).

These real-world examples illustrate the wide range of applications and the importance of understanding flow rate conversions in different contexts.
