What does one cubic inch per second represent?

It represents a volumetric flow rate where one cubic inch of fluid moves past a point every second.

Why convert cubic inch/second to cubic foot/minute?

To express small-scale flow rates in larger units used typically in HVAC and engineering applications.

Is this conversion valid for turbulent flows?

No, it assumes steady flow; turbulent or highly variable flows may not be accurately represented.
