Convert liter / hour to cubic foot / second

Learn how to convert 1 liter / hour to cubic foot / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{h o u r}) = \frac{10^{- 3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = \frac{10^{- 3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d}) = 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{h o u r}) = x (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{10^{- 3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = x \times 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{10^{- 3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \cdot 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{10^{- 3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (\frac{m^{3}}{s}) = x \times 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2} \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

\frac{10^{- 3}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{{10^{- 3}}^{10^{- 1}}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 2.8316846592 \times 10^{- 2}

Simplify

\frac{10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 2.8316846592

Switch sides

x \times 2.8316846592 = \frac{10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{2.8316846592})

x \times 2.8316846592 \times \frac{1.0}{2.8316846592} = \frac{10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{1.0}{2.8316846592}

Cancel

x \times 2.8316846592 \times \frac{1.0}{2.8316846592} = \frac{10^{- 1} \times 1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 2.8316846592}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 2.8316846592}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 10^{- 1}}{3.6 \times 2.8316846592}

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 4}}{3.6 \times 2.8316846592}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000098096 \approx 9.8096 \times 10^{- 6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{h o u r}) \approx 9.8096 \times 10^{- 6} (\frac{c u b i c f o o t}{s e c o n d})
