SUMMARY

To convert grams per second (g/s) to liters per second (l/s), the density of air is essential. The correct density of air is 1.205 kg/m³, not kg/m². For the conversion, use the formula: 41.7 g/s * (1/1000) kg/g * (1/1.205) m³/kg * (1000 l/m³). This calculation will yield the volumetric flow rate in liters per second.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of unit conversion in fluid dynamics
  • Familiarity with the concept of density
  • Basic knowledge of volumetric efficiency
  • Ability to perform dimensional analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn about fluid density and its impact on flow rate calculations
  • Study volumetric efficiency in internal combustion engines
  • Explore dimensional analysis techniques for unit conversions
  • Investigate the properties of gases, particularly air, under varying conditions
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, students in fluid mechanics, and anyone involved in calculations related to air flow and volumetric efficiency will benefit from this discussion.

I am really struggling to convert g/s to l/s.
Im sure it has something to do with the desity of air but am not sure.

I have to convert 41.7g/s to l/s to find volumetric efficiency.

I am jst completely stuck, if anyone could give me any pointers that would be great!

Density of air = 1.205kg/m2

Thank you everyone.

It definitely has to do with the density of air.

This should be 1.205 kg/m3

You have 41.7 g/sec = 41.7 g/sec * (1/1000)kg/g * 1/1.205 m3/kg * (?) l/m3.

Replace ? above with the number of liters in 1 m3 and do the calculation. All the units cancel so that you're left with l/sec.
