Chapter 6, Problem 6.1PP

Convert a volume flow rate of 3.0 gal/min to rrP/s.

To determine

To Convert:

The given value into the required value by using related equations.

Answer to Problem 6.1PP

The given value is converted into required value below:

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Volume flow rate given is $3.0gal/\min$

First convert the volume flow rate ingal/minto volume flow rate inm3/s, by using

Conversation formula is given below:

   $Q(m^3/s)=Q(gal/\min )\times (6.31\times {10}^{-5})$

Then substitute $Q=3.0gal/\min$in above equation we get

   $Q(m^3/s)=3\times (6.31\times {10}^{-5})$

=1.89×10-4 m³/s

Finally, the volume flow rate in m³/s is $=1.89*{10}^{-4}{m}^3/s$
