Mole per second quick reference
| Mole per second | Kilomole per hour | Mole per minute | Mole per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mol/s | = 3.6 kmol/h | = 60 mol/min | = 3600 mol/h |
| 10 mol/s | = 36 kmol/h | = 600 mol/min | = 36000 mol/h |
| 100 mol/s | = 360 kmol/h | = 6000 mol/min | = 360000 mol/h |
| 1000 mol/s | = 3600 kmol/h | = 60000 mol/min | = 3600000 mol/h |
Where the mole per second fits
The next smaller molar flow unit is the kilomole per hour (kmol/h). 1 mol/s = 3.6 kmol/h, and 1 kmol/h ≈ 0.2777777778 mol/s.
The next larger molar flow unit is the kilomole per second (kmol/s). 1 mol/s = 0.001 kmol/s, and 1 kmol/s = 1000 mol/s.
