Example: convert 58 cup/s to ft3/s:
58 cup/s = 58 x 0.008355039028476062 = 0.48459226365161157 ft3/s
Cup per second
Definition: A cup per second (cup/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of a substance passing through a surface per unit of time. It represents the amount of volume, measured in cups, that flows every second.
History/origin: The 'cup' is a unit of volume primarily used in cooking and is part of the United States customary system of measurement. The 'per second' component indicates a rate of change over time. The precise origin can be linked to the standardization of kitchen measurements.
Current use: Cups per second is rarely used in formal scientific or engineering contexts due to the relatively large and imprecise nature of the 'cup' unit. It might be encountered in high-volume dispensing or filling operations where speed is critical.
Cubic foot per second
Definition: A cubic foot per second (ft3/s) is a unit of flow rate that represents the volume of fluid (or sometimes gas) passing a point in one second, measured in cubic feet. It's used where large volumes are transferred rapidly.
History/origin: This unit combines the cubic foot, a common volume measurement, with the second as the unit of time. It allows quantifying how quickly a volume of substance moves.
Current use: It's commonly used in hydrology for measuring river flow, in HVAC systems for air flow, and in industrial applications involving high-volume fluid or gas transfer.
