Gallons per hour to Fluid Ounces per second conversion

How to convert gallons per hour to fluid ounces per second?

Sure, let's convert 1 Gallon per hour (GPH) to Fluid Ounces per second (fl oz/s).

Conversion Steps

1. Understand the basic conversions:

   • 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds

2. Convert gallons to fluid ounces: 1 gallon per hour = 128 fluid ounces per hour

3. Convert hours to seconds: $1 \, \text{hour} = 3600 \, \text{seconds}$

4. Calculate Fluid Ounces per Second: To find out how many fluid ounces per second: $\frac{128 \, \text{fluid ounces}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}} \approx 0.03556 \, \text{fluid ounces per second (fl oz/s)}$

So, $1 \, \text{GPH} \approx 0.03556 \, \text{fl oz/s}$.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Gallons per Hour

1. Home Water Heater:

   • A typical home water heater can have a flow rate of about 50 GPH.
   • Conversion: $50 \, \text{GPH} \times 0.03556 \, \text{fl oz/s per GPH} = 1.778 \, \text{fl oz/s}$

2. Residential Faucet:

   • A residential faucet might flow at around 2 GPM (gallons per minute).
   • Convert GPM to GPH: $2 \, \text{GPM} \times 60 \, \text{minutes per hour} = 120 \, \text{GPH}$
   • Convert to Fluid Ounces per Second: $120 \, \text{GPH} \times 0.03556 \, \text{fl oz/s per GPH} = 4.2672 \, \text{fl oz/s}$

3. Car Engine Fuel Consumption:

   • A car engine might consume fuel at a rate of 1 GPH under certain conditions.
   • Using our conversion: $1 \, \text{GPH} \approx 0.03556 \, \text{fl oz/s}$

4. Irrigation System Drip Emitter:

   • A typical garden drip emitter might have a flow rate of 1 GPH.
   • Using our already calculated conversion: $1 \, \text{GPH} \approx 0.03556 \, \text{fl oz/s}$

5. Aquarium Filter:

   • An aquarium filter might pump 200 GPH.
   • Conversion: $200 \, \text{GPH} \times 0.03556 \, \text{fl oz/s per GPH} = 7.112 \, \text{fl oz/s}$

These examples illustrate the relevance of GPH in various practical scenarios and show the ease of converting it into other units of flow.
