Kilograms per second to Kilograms per hour conversion

How to convert kilograms per second to kilograms per hour?

To convert kilograms per second (kg/s) to kilograms per hour (kg/hr), you need to account for the fact that there are 3600 seconds in one hour. The conversion can be done using the following relationship:

$1 \text{ kg/s} = 1 \text{ kg/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 3600 \text{ kg/hr}$

Conversion Steps:

1. Identify the number of seconds in an hour:

   • There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour.
   • Therefore, $60 \times 60 = 3600$ seconds per hour.

2. Multiply the given value in kg/s by 3600 to convert to kg/hr:

   • $1 \text{ kg/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 3600 \text{ kg/hr}$.

So, 1 kilogram per second is equivalent to 3600 kilograms per hour.

Real World Examples:

Here are a few real-world examples with other quantities of kilograms per second:

• 0.5 kg/s: $0.5 \text{ kg/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 1800 \text{ kg/hr}$

  • Example: A small industrial screw conveyor delivering granular material at a rate of 0.5 kg per second.

• 2 kg/s: $2 \text{ kg/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 7200 \text{ kg/hr}$

  • Example: A large-scale production line processing raw materials.

• 10 kg/s: $10 \text{ kg/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 36000 \text{ kg/hr}$

  • Example: A high-capacity conveyor system in a mining operation transporting ore.

• 0.1 kg/s: $0.1 \text{ kg/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 360 \text{ kg/hr}$

  • Example: A small dosing system in a chemical manufacturing process.

Understanding these conversions and their real-world applications helps in various fields like manufacturing, material handling, and process engineering where mass flow rates are crucial.
