Millilitres per second to Cubic feet per hour conversion

How to convert millilitres per second to cubic feet per hour?

To convert millilitres per second (mL/s) to cubic feet per hour (ft³/h), you need to go through a few conversion steps. Here is the process:

1. Convert millilitres to litres: There are 1,000 millilitres in a litre. $1 \text{ mL} = 0.001 \text{ litres}$

2. Convert seconds to hours: There are 3,600 seconds in an hour. $1 \text{ second} = \frac{1}{3600} \text{ hours}$

3. Convert litres to cubic feet: There are approximately 35.3147 cubic feet in a cubic metre, and there are 1,000 litres in a cubic metre. $1 \text{ litre} = \frac{1}{1000} \text{ m³} = \frac{35.3147}{1000} \text{ ft³}$

Putting it all together, $1 \text{ mL/s} = 0.001 \text{ litres/second}$ $= 0.001 \text{ litres} \times 3600 \text{ seconds/hour}$ $= 3.6 \text{ litres/hour}$

Now to convert litres to cubic feet: $3.6 \text{ litres/hour} \times \frac{35.3147}{1000} \text{ ft³/litre}$ $= 3.6 \times 0.0353147 \text{ ft³/hour}$ $= 0.12713292 \text{ ft³/hour}$

Therefore, $1 \text{ mL/s} = 0.12713292 \text{ ft³/h}$

For other quantities of millilitres per second and how they relate to real-world examples:

1. 10 mL/s = 1.2713292 ft³/h:

   • A small laboratory water pump might have this flow rate.

2. 50 mL/s = 6.356646 ft³/h:

   • Similar to a modest garden hose flow rate.

3. 100 mL/s = 12.713292 ft³/h:

   • Equivalent to the flow rate of a residential water softener regeneration cycle.

4. 500 mL/s = 63.56646 ft³/h:

   • Comparable to the water output from a small commercial fountain or waterfall.

5. 1000 mL/s = 127.13292 ft³/h:

   • Roughly the flow rate seen from moderate river currents in certain conditions.

These examples show how different flow rates in millilitres per second can scale to larger, familiar real-world scenarios in cubic feet per hour.
