What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you transform molar flow rates expressed in kilomol/hour into petamol/second. Kilomol/hour quantifies substance flow in thousands of moles per hour commonly used in chemical process calculations, while petamol/second represents extremely large molar flows such as those in astrophysics and high-throughput industrial processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does kilomol/hour measure?
-
Kilomol/hour quantifies the molar flow rate as thousands of moles of substance passing a point per hour, used in chemical engineering and process calculations.
-
When is petamol/second used?
-
Petamol/second is used to express extremely large molar flow rates in contexts like astrophysics, large-scale industrial processes, and high-energy physics simulations.
-
How do I convert kmol/h to Pmol/s?
-
Multiply the value in kilomol/hour by 2.7777777777778e-16 to get the equivalent molar flow in petamol/second.
Key Terminology
-
Kilomol/hour (kmol/h)
-
A unit of molar flow representing 1,000 moles passing a point each hour, used in chemical and process engineering.
-
Petamol/second (Pmol/s)
-
A unit of molar flow equal to 10¹⁵ moles passing a reference point every second, often applied in astrophysics and large-scale industrial modeling.
-
Molar flow rate
-
The quantity of substance, measured in moles, flowing per unit time through a given point or system.
