Litres per hour to Cubic inches per second conversion

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

To convert from Litres per hour (L/h) to Cubic inches per second (in³/s), we can follow these steps:

1. Convert Litres to Cubic Inches:

   • 1 litre is equivalent to 61.0237 cubic inches.

2. Convert Hours to Seconds:

   • 1 hour is equivalent to 3600 seconds.

Now we'll put these conversions together:

$\text{1 Litres per hour} = \frac{61.0237 \text{ cubic inches}}{3600 \text{ seconds}}$

So the calculation would be:

$1 \, \text{L/h} = \frac{61.0237}{3600} \, \text{in}^3/\text{s} \approx 0.01695 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

Therefore, 1 Litres per hour is approximately 0.01695 Cubic inches per second.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Litres per Hour

1. Household Water Faucet:

   • Flow Rate: Typical household faucets have a flow rate of approximately 6 litres per minute (L/min), which is equal to 360 litres per hour (L/h).

2. Drip Irrigation System:

   • Flow Rate: A common drip emitter may allow water to flow at a rate of 4 litres per hour (L/h).

3. Fuel Pump in a Car:

   • Flow Rate: A standard fuel pump in a car might have a flow rate of 120 litres per hour (L/h).

4. Showerhead:

   • Flow Rate: A standard showerhead might have a flow rate of about 9.5 litres per minute (L/min), equating to 570 litres per hour (L/h).

Conversion Examples:

• 360 Litres per hour (Household Water Faucet): $360 \, \text{L/h} = 360 \times 0.01695 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s} \approx 6.102 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

• 4 Litres per hour (Drip Irrigation System): $4 \, \text{L/h} = 4 \times 0.01695 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s} \approx 0.0678 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

• 120 Litres per hour (Fuel Pump): $120 \, \text{L/h} = 120 \times 0.01695 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s} \approx 2.034 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

• 570 Litres per hour (Showerhead): $570 \, \text{L/h} = 570 \times 0.01695 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s} \approx 9.662 \, \text{in}^3/\text{s}$

Understanding the conversion between different volume flow rate units is important for applications across various fields, from engineering to everyday household tasks.
