Litres per hour to Cubic Millimeters per second conversion

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

Certainly! To convert 1 Litre per hour (L/h) to Cubic Millimeters per second (mm³/s), we'll need to use the appropriate conversion factors. Here's a step-by-step process:

1. Understand the Basic Units:

   • 1 Litre (L) = 1,000,000 Cubic Millimeters (mm³)
   • 1 hour (h) = 3,600 seconds (s)

2. Use the Conversion Factors:

   • We need to convert 1 Litre per hour to mm³/s

3. Perform the Conversion: $1 \text{ L/h} = \frac{1 \text{ L}}{1 \text{ h}} = \frac{1 \times 1,000,000 \text{ mm³}}{3,600 \text{ s}}$ Simplifying: $= \frac{1,000,000 \text{ mm³}}{3,600 \text{ s}} = 277.78 \text{ mm³/s} \approx 278 \text{ mm³/s}$

So, 1 Litre per hour is approximately 278 mm³/s.

Real-World Examples of Flow Rates in Litres per Hour

1. Household Water Tap: A typical household water tap has a flow rate of about 6-12 Litres per minute. Let's take the lower end: $6 \text{ L/min} \times 60 \text{ min/h} = 360 \text{ L/h}$

2. Aquarium Pumps: Small aquarium pumps may have a flow rate around 50-300 Litres per hour depending on the size of the aquarium.

3. Fuel Consumption in Vehicles: An average car fuel pump might have a flow rate of around 70-100 Litres per hour when running at full capacity.

4. Garden Irrigation: Drip irrigation systems typically deliver water at a rate of 2-4 Litres per hour per emitter.

5. Industrial Processes: In many industrial processes, such as chemical manufacturing, flow rates can range drastically but might be specified in hundreds to thousands of Litres per hour.

These examples show the wide variety of contexts in which flow rates measured in Litres per hour are applicable.
