How to Convert Cubic kilometer per second to Cubic Millimeter per secondCubic Millimeter per second
1 km3/s = 1000000000000000000 mm3/s
1 mm3/s = 9.999999999999999e-19 km3/s
Example: convert 12 km3/s to mm3/s:
12 km3/s = 12 x 1000000000000000000 = 12000000000000000000 mm3/s
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 Millimeter per second
Definition: Cubic millimeters per second (mm³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate, representing the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time. Specifically, it measures the volume in cubic millimeters that flows past a point in one second.
History/origin: This unit is derived from the fundamental SI units of length (meter) and time (second). The cubic millimeter is a derived unit of volume, and combining it with the 'per second' time component creates a flow rate unit.
Current use: mm³/s is used in applications where very small flow rates are relevant, such as microfluidics, precision dispensing systems, or in certain scientific instruments.
