Explanation

Formula: Cubic Feet per Second = Cubic Meters per Second × 35.315. 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 Second (m³/s): a large SI volumetric flow unit used for high-capacity process, hydraulic, and infrastructure flow reporting.

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.
