Pints per hour to Cubic Centimeters per second conversion

How to convert pints per hour to cubic centimeters per second?

Sure, I can walk you through the conversion from pints per hour to cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) and provide some real-world examples for various quantities of pints per hour.

Conversion Steps:

1. Understand the units involved:

   • 1 pint (U.S.) = 473.176 cubic centimeters (cm³)
   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds

2. Conversion formula:

   To convert pints per hour to cubic centimeters per second, use the following formula:

   $\text{Flow rate in cm³/s} = \text{Flow rate in pints per hour} \times \left(\frac{473.176 \, \text{cm³}}{1 \, \text{pint}}\right) \times \left(\frac{1 \, \text{hour}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}}\right)$

3. Calculate for 1 pint per hour:

   $1 \, \text{pint/hour} = 1 \times \frac{473.176}{3600} \, \text{cm³/s}$

   $= 0.1314388889 \, \text{cm³/s}$

Real-World Examples:

Let's extend this to other quantities of pints per hour.

2 Pints per hour:

$2 \, \text{pints/hour} = 2 \times 0.1314388889 \, \text{cm³/s} = 0.2628777778 \, \text{cm³/s}$

5 Pints per hour:

$5 \, \text{pints/hour} = 5 \times 0.1314388889 \, \text{cm³/s} = 0.6571944445 \, \text{cm³/s}$

10 Pints per hour:

$10 \, \text{pints/hour} = 10 \times 0.1314388889 \, \text{cm³/s} = 1.3143888890 \, \text{cm³/s}$

Contextual Examples:

1. Drinking Water:

   • If a person drinks 1 pint of water per hour, that would be 0.1314388889 cm³/s.

2. Fuel Consumption in Small Engines:

   • A small generator might consume fuel at the rate of 5 pints per hour, equating to approximately 0.6571944445 cm³/s.

3. Pharmaceutical Dispensing:

   • An IV drip might be set to dispense a solution at a rate of 2 pints per hour, which would be approximately 0.2628777778 cm³/s.

By converting between these units, one can better understand and communicate rates of flow in various settings, from personal hydration needs to machinery operation and medical dosing.
