Cubic kilometer per second
Definition: A cubic kilometer per second (km3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic kilometer of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure extremely large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The unit combines the cubic kilometer, a very large unit of volume, with 'per second,' indicating an extremely high rate of flow. It's primarily used in geological or astrophysical contexts where vast quantities are involved.
Current use: Km3/s is used in fields such as astrophysics (e.g., measuring material ejected from celestial events), geology (e.g., estimating the volume of volcanic eruptions), and extremely large scale fluid dynamic modeling.
Cubic inch per hour
Definition: A cubic inch per hour (in3/h) 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 cubic inches, that flows every hour.
History/origin: Similar to cubic inches per minute, this unit is derived from the inch, a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The 'per hour' component indicates the rate at which the volume is changing over time. Its origin is tied to the establishment of the imperial system.
Current use: Cubic inches per hour is used in contexts where measuring very small flow rates is necessary. It is utilized in applications where flow rates are expected to be very low, such as certain chemical processes or small-scale machinery.
