What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to change molar flow rate measurements from mol/hour to mol/minute. It helps align molar flow units with process time scales or instrumentation that operate per minute, commonly applied in chemical engineering and laboratory settings.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in mol/hour you wish to convert
-
Select mol/hour as the source unit and mol/minute as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in mol/minute
-
Review the conversion result to apply in your process or calculations
Key Features

Common Use Cases
-
Setting reactant feed rates in chemical reactors
-
Reporting consumption or production rates in catalytic or biochemical processes
-
Controlling gas flow rates with mass flow controllers in labs and pilot plants
-
Performing process calculations and dosing reagents in chemical engineering
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use consistent units when reporting or controlling molar flow rates
-
Verify steady-state flow conditions for accurate conversions
-
Understand context-specific flow requirements in your process
-
Refer to process parameters if converting between molar and volumetric flow rates
Limitations
-
Assumes constant flow rates; fluctuations require time-resolved data
-
Does not convert directly to volumetric or mass flow rates without extra information such as temperature or pressure
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert mol/hour to mol/minute?
-
Converting mol/hour to mol/minute aligns molar flow rates with instrumentation and process timings that use per-minute intervals for improved control and reporting.
-
Can I use this converter to get volumetric flow rates?
-
No, this tool only converts between molar flow rates. Converting to volumetric flow requires additional data like temperature, pressure, and molar volume.
-
Is the conversion affected by changes in flow conditions?
-
Yes, the conversion assumes steady flow rates. Variations or transient flow conditions might need more detailed measurements over time.
Key Terminology
-
Mol/hour [mol/h]
-
A unit of molar flow rate measuring moles of substance per hour passing a point or involved in a process.
-
Mol/minute [mol/min]
-
A unit of molar flow rate measuring moles of substance per minute passing a point or involved in a process.
-
Molar Flow Rate
-
The rate at which moles of a chemical species pass through a point or are produced/consumed in a process.
