Kilolitres per hour to Cups per second conversion

How to convert kilolitres per hour to cups per second?

To convert kiloliters per hour (kL/h) to cups per second (cup/s), you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Convert kiloliters to liters: 1 kiloliter (kL) is equal to 1,000 liters (L).
2. Convert hours to seconds: 1 hour (h) is equal to 3,600 seconds (s).
3. Convert liters to cups: 1 liter (L) is equal to approximately 4.22675 cups (cup).

Now, let's perform the conversion for 1 kL/h to cup/s:

1. Start with the conversion principles:

   • 1 kL = 1,000 L
   • 1 hour = 3,600 seconds
   • 1 L = 4.22675 cups

2. Convert 1 kL/h to L/s:

   • 1 kL/h = 1,000 L/h
   • 1,000 L/h × (1 h/3,600 s) = 1,000/3,600 L/s
   • 1,000/3,600 = 5/18 L/s ≈ 0.27778 L/s

3. Now, convert L/s to cup/s:

   • 0.27778 L/s × 4.22675 cups/L ≈ 1.173 cups/s

So, 1 kiloliter per hour is approximately 1.173 cups per second.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities:

• 5 kL/h to cup/s:

  • First, convert 5 kL/h to L/s:
    • 5 kL/h = 5,000 L/h
    • 5,000 L/h ÷ 3,600 s/h ≈ 1.38889 L/s
  • Then, convert to cup/s:
    • 1.38889 L/s × 4.22675 cups/L ≈ 5.865 cups/s

• 10 kL/h to cup/s:

  • Convert 10 kL/h to L/s:
    • 10 kL/h = 10,000 L/h
    • 10,000 L/h ÷ 3,600 s/h ≈ 2.77778 L/s
  • Convert to cup/s:
    • 2.77778 L/s × 4.22675 cups/L ≈ 11.73 cups/s

• 50 kL/h to cup/s:

  • Convert 50 kL/h to L/s:
    • 50 kL/h = 50,000 L/h
    • 50,000 L/h ÷ 3,600 s/h ≈ 13.8889 L/s
  • Convert to cup/s:
    • 13.8889 L/s × 4.22675 cups/L ≈ 58.65 cups/s

Practical Example:

Imagine a large-scale industrial coffee maker that can dispense coffee at a rate of 50 kiloliters per hour. This would be equivalent to a flow rate of approximately 58.65 cups per second. This rapid dispensing capability would be suitable for a large event or a factory cafeteria where a vast quantity of coffee is required in a short time.
