Litres per hour to Cubic meters per hour conversion

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

To convert litres per hour (L/h) to cubic meters per hour (m³/h), you can use the fact that 1 cubic meter equals 1,000 litres. Therefore, the conversion factor is 1,000.

Here's how you can make the conversion:

1. Identify the amount of litres you want to convert. In this case, it's 1 litre per hour.
2. Divide the number of litres per hour by 1,000 to convert it to cubic meters per hour.

So, for 1 litre per hour:

$1 \text{ litre per hour} \div 1,000 = 0.001 \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

Therefore, 1 litre per hour is equal to 0.001 cubic meters per hour.

Real World Examples:

1. Household Water Consumption:

   • A typical household might consume around 1,000 litres of water per day. This is equivalent to: $1,000 \text{ litres per day} ÷ 24 \text{ hours per day} = 41.67 \text{ litres per hour}$ $41.67 \text{ litres per hour} ÷ 1,000 = 0.04167 \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

2. Aquarium Pumps:

   • An average aquarium pump might have a flow rate of 200 litres per hour. This converts to: $200 \text{ litres per hour} ÷ 1,000 = 0.2 \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

3. Irrigation Systems:

   • A small-scale drip irrigation system may have a flow rate of 50 litres per hour per emitter. This converts to: $50 \text{ litres per hour} ÷ 1,000 = 0.05 \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

4. Car Fuel Consumption:

   • If a car engine consumes 10 litres of fuel per hour, this amounts to: $10 \text{ litres per hour} ÷ 1,000 = 0.01 \text{ cubic meters per hour}$

5. Industrial Applications:

   • An industrial water pump might have a flow rate of 1,000 litres per hour. This converts to: $1,000 \text{ litres per hour} ÷ 1,000 = 1 \text{ cubic meter per hour}$

By using this conversion factor, you can easily translate between litres per hour and cubic meters per hour, facilitating comparisons and calculations across different contexts.
