Explanation

Formula: Cubic Feet per Second = Liters per Second × 0.035315. Why: the route converts both units through liters per second using the exact cubic-foot definition and the matching time-base scaling.

Liters per Second (L/s): an SI-style volumetric flow unit used to express how many liters move each second.

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.
