What does kilomol per hour represent?

Kilomol per hour (kmol/h) denotes a molar flow rate where 1,000 moles of substance pass a point each hour, commonly used in chemical process calculations.

When should I use centimol per second as a unit?

Centimol per second (cmol/s) is suitable for low molar flow rates, such as reagent dosing in lab reactors or microreactor experiments where fine-scale flow measurement is needed.

Why is it important to consider temperature and pressure when converting molar flows?

Temperature and pressure impact molar flow rates; consistent conditions are necessary to ensure the accuracy of conversions between different molar flow units.
