Kilolitre per hour [kl/h] to Cubic kilometer per second [km3/s] Converter
How to Convert Kilolitre per hour to Cubic kilometer per second
1 kl/h = 2.777777777777778e-13 km3/s
1 km3/s = 3600000000000 kl/h
Example: convert 10 kl/h to km3/s:
10 kl/h = 10 x 2.777777777777778e-13 = 2.777777777777778e-12 km3/s
Kilolitre per hour
Definition: A kilolitre per hour (kl/h) is a unit of volumetric flow rate equal to 1,000 liters passing a point in one hour. It is used to measure relatively smaller volumes of liquid flow compared to kl/min or kl/s, but over a longer period.
History/origin: The unit stems from the litre, with 'kilo-' indicating 1000 litres. 'Per hour' denotes the flow rate over an hour. The development aligns with the need for standardised units to measure and control fluid transfer in various applications.
Current use: Kl/h is typically used in industrial processes, water treatment plants, and environmental monitoring where flow rates are lower and measured over longer durations. For example, measuring the flow rate of water in a small treatment plant or the flow rate of chemicals in a production line.
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.
