Litres per second to Cubic feet per second conversion

How to convert litres per second to cubic feet per second?

To convert liters per second (L/s) to cubic feet per second (ft³/s), you need to know the conversion factor between liters and cubic feet.

1 liter is equivalent to approximately 0.0353 cubic feet, so:

1 L/s * 0.0353 ft³/L = 0.0353 ft³/s

Hence, 1 liter per second is approximately equal to 0.0353 cubic feet per second.

Real-World Examples

1. Household Water Flow:

   • Typical Faucet Flow: A typical household faucet might have a flow rate of about 0.1 to 0.3 L/s. This would be approximately 0.0035 to 0.0106 ft³/s.
   • For instance, 0.2 L/s  0.2 * 0.0353 = 0.00706 ft³/s

2. Fire Hose:

   • A fire hose might deliver water at around 10 L/s.
   • Conversion: 10 L/s  10 * 0.0353 = 0.353 ft³/s

3. Irrigation System:

   • A medium-sized irrigation system may have a flow rate of around 5 L/s.
   • Conversion: 5 L/s  5 * 0.0353 = 0.1765 ft³/s

4. Engine Cooling System:

   • The cooling system in a car engine might circulate coolant at around 2 L/s.
   • Conversion: 2 L/s  2 * 0.0353 = 0.0706 ft³/s

By understanding these conversions and examples, you can better grasp the practical implications and applications of volume flow rates in both everyday and industrial contexts.
