Answer:
The conversion factor is 0.00223 ( 1 gallon per minute equals 0.00223 cubic feet per second)
Explanation:
Since the given volume flow rate is gallons per minute.
We know that 1 gallon = 3.785 liters and
1 minute = 60 seconds
Let the flow rate be
Now replacing the gallon and the minute by the above values we get
Thus
Now since we know that 1 liter =
Using this in above relation we get
From the above relation we can see that flow rate of 1 gallons per minute equals flow rate of 0.00223 cubic feet per second. Thus the conversion factor is 0.00223.
