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 × galhr= 98 × 0.00378541 m33600 s=1.0304 × 10-4 m3/s

77 cL/min =78 × cLmin= 78 × 10-5 m360 s=1.3× 10-5 m3/s

7 in3/s =7 × in3s= 7 × 1.63871× 10-5 m3 s=1.147× 10-4 m3/s

0.9 ft3/min=0.9× ft3min= 0.9 × 0.0283168 m360 s=4.25× 10-4 m3/s
