Converting from Cubic Foot per Second (ft³/s) to Cubic Mile per Minute (mi³/min) in Flow Rate

What is Cubic Foot per Second (ft³/s)?

Cubic Foot per Second (ft³/s) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of fluid passing through a given cross-sectional area per unit of time. It is commonly used to express the flow of water in rivers, streams, or pipes.

What is Cubic Mile per Minute (mi³/min)?

Cubic Mile per Minute (mi³/min) is a larger unit of flow rate, where one cubic mile of fluid passes through a point in one minute. This unit is often used for large-scale flow rate measurements, such as ocean currents or large pipelines.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Cubic Foot per Second to Cubic Mile per Minute, you can use the following formulas:

mi3/min=ft3/s×0.0000000004076144

ft3/s=mi3/min×2453299000

Examples

1. Converting 15 ft³/s to mi³/min:

15×0.0000000004076144=0.000000006114216 mi³/min

2. Converting 3 mi³/min to ft³/s:

3×2453299000=7359898000 ft³/s

3. Converting 16 ft³/s to mi³/min:

16×0.0000000004076144=0.00000000652183 mi³/min

4. Converting 16 mi³/min to ft³/s:

16×2453299000=39252790000 ft³/s

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily switch between Cubic Foot per Second and Cubic Mile per Minute to suit your flow rate calculation needs.
