Millilitres per second to Cubic inches per hour conversion

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

To convert millilitres per second (mL/s) to cubic inches per hour (in³/hr), you need to go through a two-step conversion. First, convert millilitres to cubic inches, and then convert seconds to hours. Here’s how to do it:

1. Convert millilitres to cubic inches:

   1 millilitre (mL) is equivalent to approximately 0.0610237 cubic inches (in³).

2. Convert seconds to hours:

   There are 3600 seconds in an hour (60 seconds/min * 60 min/hour).

Now, let’s perform the conversion:

1 mL/s to in³/hr: $1\ \text{mL/s} \times 0.0610237\ \text{in³/mL} \times 3600\ \text{s/hr} = 219.6852\ \text{in³/hr}$

So, 1 millilitre per second is approximately 219.6852 cubic inches per hour.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities of Millilitres per Second:

1. 5 mL/s (medical IV drip rates): $5\ \text{mL/s} \times 219.6852\ \text{in³/hr per mL/s} = 1098.426\ \text{in³/hr}$ Used in medical settings for administering IV fluids to patients.

2. 10 mL/s (industrial cooling systems): $10\ \text{mL/s} \times 219.6852\ \text{in³/hr per mL/s} = 2196.852\ \text{in³/hr}$ Could be the flow rate of coolant in specific sections of a machinery cooling system.

3. 50 mL/s (small water pump): $50\ \text{mL/s} \times 219.6852\ \text{in³/hr per mL/s} = 10984.26\ \text{in³/hr}$ Suitable for small aquarium pumps or garden water features.

4. 1000 mL/s (firefighter hose): $1000\ \text{mL/s} \times 219.6852\ \text{in³/hr per mL/s} = 219685.2\ \text{in³/hr}$ Used in high-pressure fire hoses to extinguish fires rapidly.

These examples give you a practical understanding of how different flow rates in millilitres per second are used and how they convert to cubic inches per hour.
