What does mol/second measure?

Mol/second measures the amount of substance passing a point per second, commonly used in chemical reaction and flow rate contexts.

How do I convert mol/s to kmol/h?

Multiply the value in mol/s by 3.6 to get the equivalent value in kmol/h.

When should I use kmol/h instead of mol/s?

Use kmol/h to express molar flow rates over hourly time scales, useful in industrial process design and reporting.

What Is This Tool?

This converter tool allows you to change molar flow rate values from mol/second (mol/s) to kilomol/hour (kmol/h). It is ideal for chemical and process engineers needing to express flow rates in different time units for calculations, design, or reporting.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the molar flow rate value in mol/second.
Select mol/second [mol/s] as the input unit.
Choose kilomol/hour [kmol/h] as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent flow rate in kmol/h.
Use the result for engineering calculations or reporting needs.

Key Features

Converts molar flow rates between mol/second and kilomol/hour units.
Based on standard chemical engineering and process industry conventions.
Uses a fixed conversion rate: 1 mol/s equals 3.6 kmol/h.
Helps express small-scale flows in larger time units for industrial context.
Browser-based, easy to access and use without special software.

Examples

2 mol/s converts to 7.2 kmol/h using the formula 2 × 3.6.
0.5 mol/s converts to 1.8 kmol/h by multiplying 0.5 by 3.6.

Common Use Cases

Defining feed or product molar feed rates for chemical reactors and separators in design tasks.
Reporting molar production rates of synthesis gas, ammonia, or other bulk chemicals.
Assisting conversions between molar and mass flow rates for pipe sizing and material balance.
Evaluating gas flow rates in process equipment and stoichiometric calculations.
Monitoring reaction rates in catalytic converters and electrochemical cells.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady-state flow assumptions before applying the conversion.
Check and use accurate molar masses if converting molar flow to mass flow.
Select units appropriate to the magnitude and scale of your application.
Use consistent units throughout process calculations to avoid errors.
Verify results especially when dealing with transient or varying flow conditions.

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady-state flow conditions and does not reflect transient changes.
Accuracy depends on correct molar mass values when further converting to mass flow.
Certain units might be more suitable for very low or very high flow rates depending on scale.
