Question

Which of the following is the largest volumetric flowrate?

A)98 gal per hour

b)77 centiliters per minute

c)7 cubic inches per second

d)0.9 cubic foot per minute

Expert Solution

Step 1

To compare the flowrate we will covert them into single unit m³/s.

98 gal/hr $= 98 \times \frac{g a l}{h r} = 98 \times \frac{0.00378541 m^{3}}{3600 s} = 1.0304 \times 10^{- 4} m^{3} / s$

77 cL/min $= 78 \times \frac{c L}{m i n} = 78 \times \frac{10^{- 5} m^{3}}{60 s} = 1.3 \times 10^{- 5} m^{3} / s$

7 in³/s $= 7 \times \frac{i n^{3}}{s} = 7 \times \frac{1.63871 \times 10^{- 5} m^{3}}{s} = 1.147 \times 10^{- 4} m^{3} / s$

0.9 ft³/min $= 0.9 \times \frac{f t^{3}}{m i n} = 0.9 \times \frac{0.0283168 m^{3}}{60 s} = 4.25 \times 10^{- 4} m^{3} / s$
