Why is the conversion factor between cubic yard/second and milliliter/minute so large?

Because cubic yard/second measures large volumes per second, while milliliter/minute measures very small volumes per minute, the difference in scale creates a large conversion factor.

Can I use milliliter/minute for large engineering flow rates?

Milliliter/minute is intended for small, precise flow rates and is not practical for large-scale flows without first converting units.

What are typical applications of cubic yard/second flow measurements?

Cubic yard/second is used in civil and hydraulic engineering to express river discharge, flood flow, and sizing of drainage or irrigation systems.
