How to Convert Cubic yard per hour to Cubic meter per second
1 yd3/h = 0.00021237655215614306 m3/s
1 m3/s = 4708.6177350914995 yd3/h
Example: convert 10 yd3/h to m3/s:
10 yd3/h = 10 x 0.00021237655215614306 = 0.0021237655215614304 m3/s
Cubic yard per hour
Definition: Cubic yards per hour (yd3/h) is a flow rate unit that describes the volume of material (liquid or solid) passing a point in one hour, measured in cubic yards. It is suitable for slower, large-volume material transfers.
History/origin: Originating from the cubic yard as a volume unit, this measure utilizes an hourly time frame. It is helpful in contexts that require slow, precise material delivery.
Current use: It's used in construction for estimating material needs over time, in certain agricultural processes, and in industrial processes with slower material throughput.
Cubic meter per second
Definition: A cubic meter per second (m3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic meter of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure very large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The cubic meter is a metric unit derived from the meter, a fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). 'Per second' indicates the rate of flow. Its origins lie in the development of standardized metric units for scientific and engineering applications.
Current use: M3/s is commonly used in hydrology (river flow measurement), large-scale industrial processes, and in the operation of hydroelectric power plants where the movement of large volumes of water is critical.
