Tablespoons per second to Pints per hour conversion

How to convert tablespoons per second to pints per hour?

To convert from tablespoons per second to pints per hour, you need to know the following conversion factors:

1. Volume Conversion:

   • 1 tablespoon (US) = 0.0625 pints (US)

2. Time Conversion:

   • 1 hour = 3600 seconds

Now, let's break down the conversion step-by-step:

1. Convert the flow rate from tablespoons per second to pints per second: $\text{Flow rate (pints/second)} = \text{Flow rate (tablespoons/second)} \times 0.0625 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{tablespoon}}$

   Given a flow rate of 1 tablespoon/second: $1 \, \frac{\text{tablespoon}}{\text{second}} \times 0.0625 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{tablespoon}} = 0.0625 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{second}}$

2. Convert the flow rate from pints per second to pints per hour: $\text{Flow rate (pints/hour)} = \text{Flow rate (pints/second)} \times 3600 \, \frac{\text{seconds}}{\text{hour}}$

   Using the result from step 1: $0.0625 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{second}} \times 3600 \, \frac{\text{seconds}}{\text{hour}} = 225 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{hour}}$

So, 1 tablespoon per second is equal to 225 pints per hour.

Real World Examples for Other Quantities of Tablespoons per Second

1. 0.5 tablespoons per second:

• Flow Rate in pints per hour: $0.5 \, \frac{\text{tablespoons}}{\text{second}} = 0.5 \times 0.0625 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{second}} \times 3600 \, \frac{\text{seconds}}{\text{hour}} = 112.5 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{hour}}$

Real World Example: This could be the rate at which a faucet dispenses liquid when it's slightly turned on.

2. 2 tablespoons per second:

• Flow Rate in pints per hour: $2 \, \frac{\text{tablespoons}}{\text{second}} = 2 \times 0.0625 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{second}} \times 3600 \, \frac{\text{seconds}}{\text{hour}} = 450 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{hour}}$

Real World Example: A flow rate like this might be seen in a larger commercial sauce or soup dispenser at a food production facility.

3. 0.1 tablespoons per second:

• Flow Rate in pints per hour: $0.1 \, \frac{\text{tablespoons}}{\text{second}} = 0.1 \times 0.0625 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{second}} \times 3600 \, \frac{\text{seconds}}{\text{hour}} = 22.5 \, \frac{\text{pints}}{\text{hour}}$

Real World Example: This might be the flow rate of a small-scale drip irrigation system for precision watering of plants.

These examples illustrate how to apply the conversion factor to different quantities of flow rates, providing practical insights into their real-world applications.
