What does kilomol/min measure?

Kilomol/min measures how many kilomoles of a substance flow past a point each minute, commonly used in industrial chemical processes.

Why convert kilomol/min to micromol/s?

Converting to micromol/s allows expressing large-scale molar flow rates in smaller units suitable for microfluidic and biochemical applications.

Can this conversion handle changing flow rates?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state flow and does not account for fluctuating or transient flow conditions.
