What is a cubic yard per second?

It is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic yard of fluid passing a point each second, commonly used in US customary engineering and hydraulics.

What does barrel (US) per day measure?

This measures the number of US oil barrels passing a point per day, widely used in the petroleum industry to quantify production and transport rates.

Can this converter be used for multiphase flow rates?

No, the conversion assumes steady, incompressible fluid flows and does not consider multiphase flow conditions or variable fluid density.
