To convert a flow rate from liters per minute (L/min) to millimeters per second (mm/s), you first need to convert liters to cubic millimeters, then convert minutes to seconds.
1 liter is equivalent to 1,000,000 cubic millimeters (mm³).
1 minute is equivalent to 60 seconds.
Now, let's convert 23 L/min to mm/s:
1. Convert liters to cubic millimeters:
\( 23 \, \text{L} = 23 \times 1,000,000 \, \text{mm}^3 = 23,000,000 \, \text{mm}^3 \)
2. Convert minutes to seconds:
\( \text{Since this is per minute, we have 60 seconds in a minute, we will divide by 60.} \)
Now, calculate the flow rate in cubic millimeters per second (mm³/s):
\[
\frac{23,000,000 \, \text{mm}^3}{60 \, \text{s}} \approx 383,333.33 \, \text{mm}^3/\text{s}
\]
If you want to express this as a speed (mm/s), you need to know the cross-sectional area (A) through which the fluid is flowing. The flow rate is given in mm³/s, and to convert it to mm/s, you would divide by the cross-sectional area:
\[
\text{Flow velocity (mm/s)} = \frac{\text{Flow rate (mm³/s)}}{A \, \text{(mm²)}}
\]
Without knowing the cross-sectional area, the flow velocity cannot be determined in mm/s. However, the cubic millimeters per second conversion has been calculated as approximately 383,333.33 mm³/s.
