Convert liter / hour to cubic meter / second

Learn how to convert 1 liter / hour to cubic meter / 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 m e t e r}{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 m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 1.0 (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d}) = 1.0 (\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 m e t e r}{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 1.0 \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 1.0 \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 1.0 \times (\frac{m^{3}}{s})

Conversion Equation

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

Simplify

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

Switch sides

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

Rewrite equation

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

Rewrite

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

Simplify

x = \frac{10^{- 6}}{3.6}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000002778 \approx 2.7778 \times 10^{- 7}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{l i t e r}{h o u r}) \approx 2.7778 \times 10^{- 7} (\frac{c u b i c m e t e r}{s e c o n d})
