Kilomole per second quick reference
| Kilomole per second | Mole per second | Kilomole per hour | Mole per minute |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kmol/s | = 1000 mol/s | = 3600 kmol/h | = 60000 mol/min |
| 10 kmol/s | = 10000 mol/s | = 36000 kmol/h | = 600000 mol/min |
| 100 kmol/s | = 100000 mol/s | = 360000 kmol/h | = 6000000 mol/min |
| 1000 kmol/s | = 1000000 mol/s | = 3600000 kmol/h | = 60000000 mol/min |
Where the kilomole per second fits
The next smaller molar flow unit is the mole per second (mol/s). 1 kmol/s = 1000 mol/s, and 1 mol/s = 0.001 kmol/s.
