What does kilomol/min measure?

Kilomol per minute measures the amount of substance flowing past a point in a chemical process per minute, expressed in thousands of moles.

When should I use hectomol/second units?

Hectomol per second is used for expressing high-throughput molar flow rates, especially in large-scale reactors or process calculations requiring per-second time bases.

Is this converter suitable for transient flow conditions?

No, the conversion assumes steady flow and constant rates, so it may not be accurate during changing or transient process conditions.
