What does centimol per second measure?

Centimol per second (cmol/s) quantifies the amount of substance flowing per second, mainly used for low-rate molar flow in laboratory and pilot-scale reactors.

Why convert cmol/s to kmol/min?

Converting from cmol/s to kmol/min allows users to relate small-scale lab measurements to industrial-scale flow rates typically used in chemical process engineering.

How is kilomol per minute used in industry?

Kilomol per minute (kmol/min) specifies flow rates of chemical substances in large-scale reactors and plants, such as petrochemical or ammonia synthesis processes.
