Pints per hour to Cubic inches per second conversion

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

To convert pints per hour to cubic inches per second, we'll go through the following steps:

1. Understand the conversions needed:

   • 1 pint (US) = 28.875 cubic inches
   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds

2. Convert pints to cubic inches: Since 1 pint = 28.875 cubic inches, you're starting with 1 pint per hour which is 28.875 cubic inches per hour.

3. Convert hours to seconds: There are 3600 seconds in an hour.

4. Calculate the conversion: $\text{Cubic inches per second} = \frac{\text{Cubic inches per hour}}{\text{Seconds per hour}} = \frac{28.875 \, \text{cubic inches}}{3600 \, \text{seconds}} \approx 0.00802 \, \text{cubic inches per second}$

Thus, 1 pint per hour is approximately 0.00802 cubic inches per second.

Real-world Examples of Various Flow Rates:

1. Homebrew Beer Fermentation: If a homebrewer’s fermentation process releases CO2 at the rate of 2 pints per hour: $2 \, \text{pints per hour} = 2 \times 0.00802 \approx 0.01604 \, \text{cubic inches per second}$

2. Garden Watering System: A garden watering system that delivers water at a rate of 5 pints per hour: $5 \, \text{pints per hour} = 5 \times 0.00802 \approx 0.0401 \, \text{cubic inches per second}$

3. Aquarium Filter Pump: An aquarium filter pump running at 0.5 pints per hour: $0.5 \, \text{pints per hour} = 0.5 \times 0.00802 \approx 0.00401 \, \text{cubic inches per second}$

4. Residential Water Leak: If there is a small water leak in a home plumbing system measuring at 0.1 pints per hour: $0.1 \, \text{pints per hour} = 0.1 \times 0.00802 \approx 0.000802 \, \text{cubic inches per second}$

These examples illustrate how converting pints per hour to cubic inches per second can help in assessing various flow rates in practical scenarios.
