Litres per hour to Quarts per second conversion

How to convert litres per hour to quarts per second?

To convert from litres per hour (L/h) to quarts per second (qt/s), we need to understand the relationship between these units.

1 litre (L) is approximately equal to 1.05669 quarts (qt). 1 hour contains 3600 seconds.

Given these equivalencies:

1. Convert litres to quarts: $1 \text{ L} \approx 1.05669 \text{ qt}$

2. Convert hours to seconds: $1 \text{ hour} = 3600 \text{ seconds}$

3. Combine the conversions: $1 \text{ L/h} = \frac{1.05669 \text{ qt}}{3600 \text{ s}} \approx 0.00029352 \text{ qt/s}$

So, 1 litre per hour is approximately 0.00029352 quarts per second.

Real-World Examples

Here are some real-world scenarios for other quantities of litres per hour (L/h) and their conversions to quarts per second (qt/s):

1. A slow-dripping faucet: 10 L/h $10 \text{ L/h} ≈ 10 × 0.00029352 \text{ qt/s} = 0.0029352 \text{ qt/s}$

2. Household water usage rate: 60 L/h $60 \text{ L/h} ≈ 60 × 0.00029352 \text{ qt/s} = 0.0176112 \text{ qt/s}$

3. Garden hose flow rate: 1000 L/h $1000 \text{ L/h} ≈ 1000 × 0.00029352 \text{ qt/s} = 0.29352 \text{ qt/s}$

4. Industrial water cooling system: 5000 L/h $5000 \text{ L/h} ≈ 5000 × 0.00029352 \text{ qt/s} = 1.4676 \text{ qt/s}$

5. Agricultural irrigation system: 20000 L/h $20000 \text{ L/h} ≈ 20000 × 0.00029352 \text{ qt/s} = 5.8704 \text{ qt/s}$

Summary

To convert litres per hour to quarts per second, multiply the number of litres per hour by approximately 0.00029352. This can provide helpful insights into flow rates for various applications, from household water usage to industrial systems.
