Litres per hour to Cubic inches per hour conversion

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

To convert from litres per hour (L/h) to cubic inches per hour (in³/h), we need to use the conversion factor between litres and cubic inches.

1 litre is equivalent to approximately 61.0237 cubic inches.

So, to convert litres per hour to cubic inches per hour, you can use the following formula:

$\text{Volume in cubic inches per hour} = \text{Volume in litres per hour} \times 61.0237$

Applying this formula to your specific example of 1 litre per hour:

$1 \text{ L/h} \times 61.0237 = 61.0237 \text{ in³/h}$

Therefore, $1$ litre per hour is equivalent to $61.0237$ cubic inches per hour.

Real-world examples of other quantities in litres per hour:

1. Residential Water Flow:

   • A standard kitchen faucet might have a flow rate of about 5-8 litres per minute. If you convert this to litres per hour, it would be:
     • 5 L/min * 60 minutes/hour = 300 L/h
     • 8 L/min * 60 minutes/hour = 480 L/h

2. Aquarium Water Filter:

   • A small aquarium filter might have a flow rate of around 200 L/h, while a larger one for a bigger tank might be rated at 1000 L/h or more.

3. Irrigation Systems:

   • Drip irrigation systems can have emitters that dispense water at rates of about 1-4 litres per hour per emitter, which is highly efficient for directing water where it's needed most.

4. Car Engine Cooling:

   • Cooling systems in cars circulate coolant typically at rates around 80-120 litres per minute, or approximately 4800-7200 litres per hour.

By knowing how to convert between units and understanding these practical examples, you can better grasp how fluid flow rates are essential in various applications ranging from household appliances to industrial systems.
