What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate molar flow rates from millimol per day (mmol/d), a unit for low-rate substance transfers over a day, into teramol per second (Tmol/s), which measures extremely large molar flows per second. It is useful for bridging scales from biochemical processes to large industrial or planetary fluxes.

-
Measuring metabolic fluxes or nutrient turnover in physiology and biochemistry over days
-
Quantifying low-rate emissions or effluent flows in environmental monitoring
-
Describing large-scale industrial gas production rates for process accounting
-
Expressing planetary atmospheric fluxes and global emission rates in atmospheric chemistry
-
Modeling molar throughput in chemical-process or multi-plant aggregate analyses
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure units are correctly selected before conversion to avoid errors
-
Use the tool to compare molar flow rates across vastly different scales
-
Interpret very small output values carefully due to numerical scale differences
-
Verify results when integrating conversions into scientific or industrial reports
-
Apply this conversion to link biochemical data with large-scale environmental or industrial analyses
Limitations
-
Conversions result in extremely small numbers that may challenge floating-point precision
-
Careful numerical handling is needed to maintain accuracy in very small converted values
-
Not suitable for applications requiring direct high-precision molar flow rates without consideration of scale
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does millimol/day measure?
-
Millimol per day measures the amount of a substance transferred, produced, or consumed over a 24-hour period, typically representing low-rate molar flow.
-
When is teramol/second used?
-
Teramol per second represents very large-scale molar flow rates, commonly applied in industrial gas production, atmospheric chemistry, and large-scale chemical process analyses.
-
Can this tool handle conversions for clinical pharmacokinetics?
-
Yes, it is suited for converting molar flow rates such as drug or metabolite excretion rates measured in millimol/day into larger scale units.
Key Terminology
-
Millimol per day (mmol/d)
-
A unit of molar flow rate representing one thousandth of a mole transferred or consumed within 24 hours, used for low-rate biochemical and environmental measurements.
-
Teramol per second (Tmol/s)
-
A unit of molar flow rate equal to 10^12 moles per second, applied for large-scale industrial or planetary molar throughput.
