Litres per minute to Cubic inches per second conversion

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

Sure! To convert from liters per minute (L/min) to cubic inches per second (in³/s), you'll need to use appropriate conversion factors. Here are the steps:

1. Convert liters to cubic inches: One liter is equal to 61.0237 cubic inches.
2. Convert minutes to seconds: One minute is equal to 60 seconds.

Given: 1 L/min

First, convert 1 liter to cubic inches: $1 \text{ liter} = 61.0237 \text{ cubic inches}$

Next, since flow rate is per minute, convert minutes to seconds: $1 \text{ min} = 60 \text{ sec}$

So, to find the flow rate in cubic inches per second, apply the conversions:

$1 \text{ L/min} \times \frac{61.0237 \text{ in}^3}{1 \text{ L}} \times \frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ s}}$

$= \frac{61.0237 \text{ in}^3}{60 \text{ s}}$

$= 1.01706 \text{ in}^3/\text{s}$

Thus, 1 liter per minute is approximately equal to 1.01706 cubic inches per second.

Real-World Examples of Other Quantities of Litres per Minute:

1. Shower Head Flow:

   • A typical shower head might have a flow rate of about 10-15 liters per minute. This would convert to:
     • 10 L/min ≈ 10.1706 in³/s
     • 15 L/min ≈ 15.2559 in³/s

2. Garden Hose:

   • A garden hose might have a flow rate of about 30 liters per minute. This would convert to:
     • 30 L/min ≈ 30.5118 in³/s

3. Tap Water Flow:

   • A typical home tap might have a flow rate of around 5 liters per minute. This would convert to:
     • 5 L/min ≈ 5.0853 in³/s

4. Aquarium Pump:

   • Small aquarium pumps can have flows around 100 liters per minute. This would convert to:
     • 100 L/min ≈ 101.706 in³/s

These examples should give you a sense of how different flow rates in liters per minute would translate into cubic inches per second.
