Quarts per second to Cubic meters per hour conversion

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

To convert from quarts per second to cubic meters per hour, it's beneficial to understand the relationship between these units. Here are the steps to perform the conversion:

1. Understand the Conversion Factors:

   • 1 quart is equivalent to approximately 0.946353 liters.
   • 1 liter is equivalent to 0.001 cubic meters.
   • 1 hour is equivalent to 3600 seconds.

2. Convert Quarts to Liters:

   • 1 quarts/second = 1 × 0.946353 liters/second
   • Therefore, 1 quarts/second = 0.946353 liters/second

3. Convert Liters to Cubic Meters:

   • 0.946353 liters/second = 0.946353 × 0.001 cubic meters/second
   • Therefore, 0.946353 liters/second = 0.000946353 cubic meters/second

4. Convert Seconds to Hours:

   • 0.000946353 cubic meters/second × 3600 seconds/hour = 3.4068708 cubic meters/hour

Thus: $1 \text{ quarts/second} = 3.4068708 \text{ cubic meters/hour}$

Real-World Examples:

1. Fire Hose:

   • A typical fire hose might deliver around 100 quarts per second.
   • Converting this: $100 \times 3.4068708 \approx 340.68708 \text{ cubic meters/hour}$

2. Water Supply:

   • A large industrial water pump might supply water at 200 quarts per second.
   • Converting this: $200 \times 3.4068708 \approx 681.37416 \text{ cubic meters/hour}$

3. Agricultural Irrigation:

   • An irrigation system might operate at 50 quarts per second for large scale farming.
   • Converting this: $50 \times 3.4068708 \approx 170.34354 \text{ cubic meters/hour}$

4. Swimming Pool Inlet/Outlet:

   • A commercial swimming pool filling system might be rated at 10 quarts per second.
   • Converting this: $10 \times 3.4068708 \approx 34.068708 \text{ cubic meters/hour}$

By performing these conversions, you can gain insight into how significant or practical these flow rates are in different contexts.
