Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion factor from kilomol/second to hectomol/second?
-
One kilomol per second (kmol/s) equals 10 hectomol per second (hmol/s).
-
When should I use hectomol/second instead of kilomol/second?
-
Use hectomol/second to express molar flow rates at a granularity suitable for high-rate throughput chemical process calculations.
-
Can this converter be used for small-scale molar flow rates?
-
This tool is intended for large molar flow values and may not be suitable for very small-scale measurements.
