What Is This Tool?
This tool converts molar flow rates from millimol/day (mmol/d) to mol/day (mol/d), facilitating the expression of very low chemical substance transfer rates into a standard daily molar flow unit. It supports various fields such as environmental monitoring, clinical pharmacokinetics, and biochemical process analysis.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool for converting trace molar flows to standardized molar units.
-
Apply conversions when scaling laboratory measurements to engineering contexts.
-
Ensure stable 24-hour periods for accurate interpretation of mol/day values.
-
Double-check inputs for low molar flow rates due to possible measurement limits.
Limitations
-
Measurement accuracy may affect results at very low molar flow rates.
-
Conversion assumes steady 24-hour periods; irregular sampling can influence outcomes.
-
mol/day is a non-SI unit; may require conversion for strict SI compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 millimol/day represent?
-
It equals one thousandth of a mole transferred, produced, or consumed over 24 hours, indicating a low molar flow rate.
-
Why convert millimol/day to mol/day?
-
Converting helps express very low molar flow rates in a standard molar unit useful for daily aggregated reporting and comparisons.
-
Is mol/day an SI unit?
-
No, mol/day is a derived non-SI unit commonly used for time-averaged chemical flows over a day.
Key Terminology
-
Millimol per day (mmol/d)
-
A unit of molar flow rate equal to one thousandth of a mole transferred or processed over a 24-hour period, used for low-rate chemical and biological processes.
-
Mol per day (mol/d)
-
A non-SI derived unit expressing the amount of substance in moles transferred, produced, or consumed per day, common in reporting slow or aggregated chemical flows.
-
Molar flow rate
-
The rate at which a substance passes a point or is consumed or produced, measured in moles over time.
