Litres per second to Fluid Ounces per hour conversion

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

Sure, let's break down the conversion process first and then we can look at some real-world examples involving different quantities of litres per second (L/s).

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Conversion from Litres to Fluid Ounces:

   • There are 33.814 fluid ounces in 1 litre.

2. Convert 1 Litre per Second to Fluid Ounces per Second:

   • $1 \text{ L/s} \times 33.814 \text{ fl oz/L} = 33.814 \text{ fl oz/s}$

3. Convert from Seconds to Hours:

   • There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

4. Convert 33.814 Fluid Ounces per Second to Fluid Ounces per Hour:

   • $33.814 \text{ fl oz/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 121,730.4 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

So, 1 litre per second is equal to 121,730.4 fluid ounces per hour.

Real-World Examples

1. Household Water Use:

   • A standard kitchen faucet might flow at a rate of about 0.1 L/s. Using our conversion: $0.1 \text{ L/s} \times 121,730.4 \text{ fl oz/hr per L/s} = 12,173.04 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

2. Fire Hose:

   • A typical fire hose might deliver around 30 L/s. Converting this: $30 \text{ L/s} \times 121,730.4 \text{ fl oz/hr per L/s} = 3,651,912 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

3. Irrigation System:

   • An agricultural irrigation system might have a flow rate of 2 L/s. Converting this: $2 \text{ L/s} \times 121,730.4 \text{ fl oz/hr per L/s} = 243,460.8 \text{ fl oz/hr}$

By knowing how to convert litres per second to fluid ounces per hour, you can better understand and communicate flow rates in different units, which can be particularly useful in various fields such as engineering, agriculture, and household utilities.
