Why multiply by 60 to convert kmol/min to kmol/h?

Because one hour contains 60 minutes, converting from per minute to per hour requires multiplying by 60 to scale the flow rate correctly.

Can this conversion be used for batch processes?

This conversion is intended for steady flow conditions; batch or transient processes may require different approaches.

How do I convert molar flow rates to mass flow rates?

To convert molar flow to mass flow, multiply the molar flow rate by the molar mass of the species in kg/kmol.
