Millilitres per second to Cubic meters per hour conversion

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

To convert milliliters per second (mL/s) to cubic meters per hour (m³/h), follow these steps:

1. Understand the units:

   • 1 milliliter (mL) = 1 x 10⁻⁶ cubic meters (m³)
   • 1 hour (h) = 3600 seconds (s)

2. Conversion Factor:

   • To convert mL/s to m³/s: $1 \, \text{mL/s} = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m³/s}$

3. Convert seconds to hours:

   • To convert from seconds to hours in the context of cubic meters per hour: $1 \, \text{m³/s} = 1 \, \text{m³} \times 3600 \, \text{s/h} = 3600 \, \text{m³/h}$

4. Combining the conversion factors: $1 \, \text{mL/s} = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{m³/s} \times 3600 \, \text{s/h} = 3.6 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m³/h}$

So, 1 milliliter per second (mL/s) is equal to 0.0036 cubic meters per hour (m³/h).

Real-world Examples:

1. Flow Rate of a Small Drip:

   • 5 mL/s can be typical for a small faucet dripping.
   • In cubic meters per hour, this would be: $5 \, \text{mL/s} = 5 \times 0.0036 \, \text{m³/h} = 0.018 \, \text{m³/h}$

2. Irrigation System:

   • A small irrigation system might deliver water at 50 mL/s.
   • In cubic meters per hour: $50 \, \text{mL/s} = 50 \times 0.0036 \, \text{m³/h} = 0.18 \, \text{m³/h}$

3. Medical Infusion Pump:

   • Delivering fluids at 1.5 mL/s.
   • In cubic meters per hour: $1.5 \, \text{mL/s} = 1.5 \times 0.0036 \, \text{m³/h} = 0.0054 \, \text{m³/h}$

4. Industrial Application:

   • A large-scale industrial application might have flow rates around 1000 mL/s.
   • In cubic meters per hour: $1000 \, \text{mL/s} = 1000 \times 0.0036 \, \text{m³/h} = 3.6 \, \text{m³/h}$

With these examples, you can see how different applications might range significantly in flow rates, and the conversions help represent those values in a standardized way.
