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

To convert from Litres per Minute (L/min) to Cubic Kilometers per Second (km³/s), you need to follow a series of unit conversions:

  1. Convert Litres to Cubic Meters (m³):

    • 1 Litre=0.001 Cubic Meters(m3)1 \text{ Litre} = 0.001 \text{ Cubic Meters} (m³)

  2. Convert Minutes to Seconds:

    • 1 minute=60 seconds1 \text{ minute} = 60 \text{ seconds}

  3. Convert Cubic Meters to Cubic Kilometers:

    • 1 Cubic Kilometer (km³)=1×109 Cubic Meters (m³)1 \text{ Cubic Kilometer (km³)} = 1 \times 10^9 \text{ Cubic Meters (m³)}

Let's put this together for 1 Litre per minute:

1 L/min=1 Litre1 minute×0.001 m³1 L×1 minute60 seconds×1 km³1×109 m³1 \text{ L/min} = \frac{1 \text{ Litre}}{1 \text{ minute}} \times \frac{0.001 \text{ m³}}{1 \text{ L}} \times \frac{1 \text{ minute}}{60 \text{ seconds}} \times \frac{1 \text{ km³}}{1 \times 10^9 \text{ m³}}

Simplifying this:

1 L/min=0.001 m³60 s×1 km³1×109 m³1 \text{ L/min} = \frac{0.001 \text{ m³}}{60 \text{ s}} \times \frac{1 \text{ km³}}{1 \times 10^9 \text{ m³}}

1 L/min=0.00160×109 km³/s1 \text{ L/min} = \frac{0.001}{60 \times 10^9} \text{ km³/s}

1 L/min=160×1012 km³/s1 \text{ L/min} = \frac{1}{60 \times 10^{12}} \text{ km³/s}

1 L/min=16×10−13 km³/s1 \text{ L/min} = \frac{1}{6} \times 10^{-13} \text{ km³/s}

1 L/min≈1.6667×10−14 km³/s1 \text{ L/min} \approx 1.6667 \times 10^{-14} \text{ km³/s}

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

  1. Kitchen Faucet: A typical kitchen faucet that uses around 8 L/min. 8 L/min=8×1.6667×10−14 km³/s≈1.3333×10−13 km³/s8 \text{ L/min} = 8 \times 1.6667 \times 10^{-14} \text{ km³/s} \approx 1.3333 \times 10^{-13} \text{ km³/s}

  2. Garden Hose: A standard garden hose might have a flow rate of 15 L/min. 15 L/min=15×1.6667×10−14 km³/s≈2.5000×10−13 km³/s15 \text{ L/min} = 15 \times 1.6667 \times 10^{-14} \text{ km³/s} \approx 2.5000 \times 10^{-13} \text{ km³/s}

  3. Fire Hose: A fire hose used by firefighters can have a flow rate of up to 950 L/min. 950 L/min=950×1.6667×10−14 km³/s≈1.5833×10−11 km³/s950 \text{ L/min} = 950 \times 1.6667 \times 10^{-14} \text{ km³/s} \approx 1.5833 \times 10^{-11} \text{ km³/s}

  4. Household Shower: An eco-friendly showerhead might flow at around 9 L/min. 9 L/min=9×1.6667×10−14 km³/s≈1.5000×10−13 km³/s9 \text{ L/min} = 9 \times 1.6667 \times 10^{-14} \text{ km³/s} \approx 1.5000 \times 10^{-13} \text{ km³/s}

These conversions help put the extremely small value of km³/s into perspective when compared to more common flow rates.

What is Liters per minute?

Liters per minute measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.

Flow rate can be calculated using following formula. Please note that tt is in minutes and QQ's unit of measure is liters/minute

Q=Vt=A∗dtQ = \frac{V}{t} = \frac{A*d}{t}

QQ - Flow rate
VV - Volume (Liters)
tt - Time in minutes AA - Cross-sectional area
dd - Distance the fluid traveled during the time tt

For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.

What is cubic kilometers per second?

A unit of measurement!

Cubic kilometers per second (km³/s) is a unit of volume flow rate. It measures the amount of water or any other fluid that flows through a given area in one second, expressed as a volume.

To put it into perspective:

  • 1 cubic kilometer (km³) is equivalent to about 4.43 trillion liters (L) or 1.38 billion gallons.
  • So, 1 km³/s means that 1 cubic kilometer of water (or another fluid) flows through an area in just one second.

This unit is commonly used to express the discharge rate of rivers, reservoirs, and other large bodies of water, as well as the flow rates of industrial processes like power plants or manufacturing facilities.
