Pints per hour to Quarts per second conversion

How to convert pints per hour to quarts per second?

To convert from pints per hour (pt/hr) to quarts per second (qt/s), you need to follow these steps:

1. Known Conversions:

   • 1 pint (pt) = 0.5 quarts (qt)
   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds

2. Set up the conversion:

   • Start with the volume flow rate: 1 pint per hour.

3. Convert pints to quarts:

   • $1 \text{ pt/hr} \times 0.5 \frac{\text{qt}}{\text{pt}} = 0.5 \text{ qt/hr}$

4. Convert hours to seconds:

   • $0.5 \text{ qt/hr} \times \frac{1 \text{ hr}}{3600 \text{ s}} = 0.5 \text{ qt} \times \frac{1}{3600 \text{ s}} = \frac{0.5}{3600} \text{ qt/s}$

5. Simplify the result:

   • $\frac{0.5}{3600} = \frac{1}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$

So, 1 pint per hour is equivalent to $\frac{1}{7200}$ quarts per second.

Real-World Examples for Different Quantities of Pints per Hour:

1. Example 1:

   • 10 pints per hour:
     • 10 pints per hour $= 10 \times \frac{1}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{10}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{1}{720} \text{ qt/s}$

2. Example 2:

   • 50 pints per hour:
     • 50 pints per hour $= 50 \times \frac{1}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{50}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{1}{144} \text{ qt/s}$

3. Example 3:

   • 100 pints per hour:
     • 100 pints per hour $= 100 \times \frac{1}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{100}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{1}{72} \text{ qt/s}$

4. Example 4:

   • 1,000 pints per hour:
     • 1,000 pints per hour $= 1,000 \times \frac{1}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{1,000}{7200} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $= \frac{5}{36} \text{ qt/s}$
     • $\approx 0.1389 \text{ qt/s}$

These examples demonstrate how to handle different quantities of volume flow rate from pints per hour to quarts per second.
