How to Convert Cubic meter per minute to Cubic kilometer per secondCubic kilometer per second
1 m3/min = 1.6666666666666667e-11 km3/s
1 km3/s = 59999999999.99999 m3/min
Example: convert 36 m3/min to km3/s:
36 m3/min = 36 x 1.6666666666666667e-11 = 6e-10 km3/s
Cubic meter per minute
Definition: A cubic meter per minute (m3/min) is a unit of volumetric flow rate indicating one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one minute. It measures medium to large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: Derived from the cubic meter, the SI unit for volume. 'Per minute' specifies the rate of flow. This unit became important with the increasing need for accurate measurement and control of fluids and gasses in industrial and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/min is employed in ventilation systems, industrial processes involving moderate fluid or gas flow, and in measuring the output of pumps and compressors. It is also used to quantify the flow of air in HVAC systems and the flow of fluids in manufacturing processes.
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.
