Litres per hour to Cubic feet per hour conversion

How to convert litres per hour to cubic feet per hour?

Sure! To convert from litres per hour (L/h) to cubic feet per hour (ft³/h), you need to know the conversion factor between litres and cubic feet. Here's the step-by-step process:

1 litre (L) is approximately equal to 0.0353147 cubic feet (ft³).

So, to convert 1 litre per hour to cubic feet per hour: $1 \, \text{L/h} \times 0.0353147 \, \frac{\text{ft}^3}{\text{L}} = 0.0353147 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{h}$

Therefore, 1 litre per hour is approximately equal to 0.0353147 cubic feet per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Litres per Hour

1. Household Appliances

• Washing Machine: Modern washing machines can have water flow rates of around 10-20 L/h, depending on the efficiency and capacity. For example, if a washing machine uses 15 L/h: $15 \, \text{L/h} \times 0.0353147 \, \frac{\text{ft}^3}{\text{L}} = 0.5297205 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{h}$

2. Industrial Applications

• Cooling Systems: Industrial cooling systems might use large volumes of water. For instance, if a cooling system uses 1000 L/h: $1000 \, \text{L/h} \times 0.0353147 \, \frac{\text{ft}^3}{\text{L}} = 35.3147 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{h}$

3. Aquaculture

• Fish Tanks: Large fish tanks or aquariums used in aquaculture might have water flow rates of 500 L/h to ensure proper filtration and oxygenation: $500 \, \text{L/h} \times 0.0353147 \, \frac{\text{ft}^3}{\text{L}} = 17.65735 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{h}$

4. Agriculture Irrigation

• Irrigation Systems: Drip irrigation systems in agriculture might use 50 L/h per emitter to provide a steady water supply to plants: $50 \, \text{L/h} \times 0.0353147 \, \frac{\text{ft}^3}{\text{L}} = 1.765735 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{h}$

5. Automotive Cooling

• Car Radiator: A car's cooling system might circulate coolant at around 100 L/h: $100 \, \text{L/h} \times 0.0353147 \, \frac{\text{ft}^3}{\text{L}} = 3.53147 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{h}$

By converting litres per hour to cubic feet per hour, you can better understand and compare flow rates across different systems and industries.
