Quarts per second to Cubic feet per minute conversion

How to convert quarts per second to cubic feet per minute?

Certainly! Converting between different units of volume flow rate involves knowing the conversion factors between the units involved. Here, we will convert 1 quart per second (qt/s) to cubic feet per minute (ft³/min).

Conversion Steps:

1. Convert quarts to cubic feet:

   • 1 US quart is approximately 0.0334201 cubic feet.

2. Convert seconds to minutes:

   • There are 60 seconds in a minute.

Step-by-Step Conversion:

1. Convert quarts to cubic feet: $1 \, \text{qt/s} \times 0.0334201 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{qt} = 0.0334201 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{s}$

2. Convert cubic feet per second to cubic feet per minute: $0.0334201 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{s} \times 60 \, \text{s/min} = 2.005206 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min}$

So, 1 qt/s is equal to approximately 2.005206 ft³/min.

Real-World Examples for Other Quantities:

1. 0.5 Quarts per second: $0.5 \, \text{qt/s} \times 2.005206 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min} = 1.002603 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min}$

   • This might be the flow rate of a medium-sized aquarium pump.

2. 3 Quarts per second: $3 \, \text{qt/s} \times 2.005206 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min} = 6.015618 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min}$

   • This could represent the flow rate of a small fire hose.

3. 10 Quarts per second: $10 \, \text{qt/s} \times 2.005206 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min} = 20.05206 \, \text{ft}^3/\text{min}$

   • This might be the flow rate of a large industrial pump.

Summary:

1 quart per second is equal to approximately 2.005206 cubic feet per minute. The method used here can be applied to any other quantity of quarts per second—simply multiply by 2.005206 to obtain the equivalent in cubic feet per minute.
