Tablespoons per second to Gallons per hour conversion

How to convert tablespoons per second to gallons per hour?

To convert from tablespoons per second (tbsp/s) to gallons per hour (gal/hr), you need to follow a series of unit conversions. Let's break down the conversion process:

1. Tablespoons to Gallons:

   • 1 tablespoon (U.S.) is equal to approximately 0.00390625 gallons.
   • Therefore, if you have a volume flow rate in tablespoons per second, you can convert it to gallons per second by multiplying by this conversion factor.

2. Seconds to Hours:

   • There are 3600 seconds in one hour.
   • To convert a rate from gallons per second to gallons per hour, you multiply by 3600.

Now, let's put it all together to convert 1 tablespoon per second to gallons per hour:

1. Convert tablespoons per second to gallons per second:

   $1 \text{ tbsp/s} \times 0.00390625 \text{ gal/tbsp} = 0.00390625 \text{ gal/s}$

2. Convert gallons per second to gallons per hour:

   $0.00390625 \text{ gal/s} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 14.0625 \text{ gal/hr}$

So, $1 \text{ tablespoon per second}$ is equal to $14.0625 \text{ gallons per hour}$.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities

1. 0.5 Tablespoons per second:

   • $0.5 \text{ tbsp/s} \times 0.00390625 \text{ gal/tbsp} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 7.03125 \text{ gal/hr}$

   Example: This could be the flow rate of a small garden hose.

2. 2 Tablespoons per second:

   • $2 \text{ tbsp/s} \times 0.00390625 \text{ gal/tbsp} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 28.125 \text{ gal/hr}$

   Example: This could represent the water flow rate from a slow-running faucet.

3. 5 Tablespoons per second:

   • $5 \text{ tbsp/s} \times 0.00390625 \text{ gal/tbsp} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 70.3125 \text{ gal/hr}$

   Example: This could be the flow rate from an average garden fountain.

4. 10 Tablespoons per second:

   • $10 \text{ tbsp/s} \times 0.00390625 \text{ gal/tbsp} \times 3600 \text{ s/hr} = 140.625 \text{ gal/hr}$

   Example: This might be the flow rate for a small water pump used to fill a swimming pool.

These conversions and examples give you a sense of how different rates of tablespoons per second translate to larger, more intuitive units of gallons per hour, and how they can apply to real-world fluid flow scenarios.
