What does gigamol per second (Gmol/s) measure?

Gmol/s quantifies extremely large molar flow rates, representing 10^9 moles passing a point each second, used in high-throughput chemical or environmental contexts.

Why convert from Gmol/s to kmol/h?

Converting from Gmol/s to kmol/h translates very large flow rates into smaller units better suited for engineering design, reporting, and process calculations.

Can I convert molar flow to mass flow directly using this tool?

No, converting molar flow to mass flow requires additional data on the species' molar mass, which this tool does not provide.
