SwitchExplanation
Formula: Cubic Feet per Second = Cubic Meters per Hour × 0.00980963. Why: the route converts both units through liters per second using the exact cubic-foot definition and the matching time-base scaling.
Cubic Meters per Hour (m³/h): a common engineering flow unit used for plant equipment, air handling, and process system specifications.
Cubic Feet per Second (cfs): a larger cubic-foot flow unit used for airflow, drainage, and open-channel or hydraulic flow reporting.
This route is useful when translating between SI flow units and gallon- or cubic-foot-based reporting for pumps, piping, ventilation, and plant documentation.
This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one liters-per-second flow basis with fixed unit-volume definitions and no offset.
