Litres per hour to Fluid Ounces per second conversion

How to convert litres per hour to fluid ounces per second?

To convert from litres per hour (L/h) to fluid ounces per second (fl oz/s), you'll need to use the correct conversion factors:

1. Litres to Fluid Ounces:
   There are approximately $33.814$ fluid ounces in a litre.

2. Hours to Seconds:
   There are $3600$ seconds in an hour ($1 \text{ hour} = 3600 \text{ seconds}$).

Now, let's do the conversion step-by-step for 1 L/h.

Conversion Steps:

1. Convert Litres to Fluid Ounces: $1 \text{ L/hour} = 1 \times 33.814 \text{ fl oz/hour} = 33.814 \text{ fl oz/hour}$

2. Convert Hours to Seconds: As there are 3600 seconds in an hour, $33.814 \text{ fl oz/hour} = \frac{33.814 \text{ fl oz}}{3600 \text{ seconds}}$

3. Calculate the Final Value: $33.814 \div 3600 \approx 0.009393 \text{ fl oz/second}$

So, 1 litre per hour is approximately $0.009393$ fluid ounces per second.

Real World Examples:

• A Drip Irrigation System: A drip irrigation system might deliver water to plants at a rate of 2 litres per hour. This would be $2 \times 0.009393 \approx 0.018786$ fluid ounces per second.
• IV Drip in Hospitals: An IV drip might need to administer 0.5 litres of saline solution per hour to a patient. That would translate to $0.5 \times 0.009393 \approx 0.0046965$ fluid ounces per second.
• Aquarium Filters: An aquarium filter might have a flow rate of 200 litres per hour to maintain clean water. Converting this: $200 \times 0.009393 \approx 1.8786 \text{ fl oz/second}$
• Fuel Flow: An automotive fuel injector system might deliver fuel at a rate of 10 litres per hour. That would be: $10 \times 0.009393 \approx 0.09393 \text{ fl oz/second}$

These conversions help in understanding the application of specific flow rates in different scenarios, whether for watering plants, medical purposes, maintaining aquariums, or fuel delivery in engines.
