Best Answer

Considering the gallon is a unit of volume (3-D) and square feet it a unit of surface area (2-D), the two are not comparable in this way. Gallons per minute is a rate of flow. Square feet per second is a rate of speed.

You may be referring to gpm /square feet - in other words, the amount of liquid being applied to a specific unit of surface area.

Example:

You are flowing 1000 gpm and you want to know the density of that liquid given an area, say a 100' tank. The surface area of the tank = pi * (50)^2 = 7853 square feet. The density of that liquid = rate of flow / surface area = 1000 gpm/ 7853 sq.ft. = 0.12734 gpm/sq.ft.

If 14 million gallons a day pass through a 500 square foot channel how many feet per second is it moving?

That's simple arithmetics: 14 million gallons per day is 14 million gallons per 86400 seconds, so it's about 162 gallons per second. 162 gallons is about 21.66 cubic feet. Divide that by the area of channel section of 500 square feet and you get about 0.043 feet/second.


What is 20 gallons per minute to cubic feet per second?

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches1 cubic foot = 1,728 cubic inches1 minute = 60 seconds20 gallons per minute = (20 x 231) cubic inches per minute = (20 x 231 / 60) cubic inches per second= (20 x 231 / 60) / 1,728 cubic feet per second= 0.04456 cubic feet per second (rounded)


Water flowing in rectangular channel that is 3.0 feet water with a depth of 18 inches and a velocity of 3.0 feet per second what is the flow in gallons per minute?

The flow rate in cubic feet/second is (3*1.5*3) = 14.5 cubic ft/sec. According to Google, there are 6.229 Imperial gallons or 7.481 US gallons in 1 cubic foot. Therefore, the flow rate is 90.32 Imp gallons/sec or 108.47 US gallons/sec. If this many gallons flow per second, then (90.32 x 60) = 5419 Imp gallons flow per 1 minute, or equivalently 6508 US gallons per minute.

How do you convert rainfall in inches to gallon per minute?

To convert rainfall from inches to gallons per minute, you need to know the area over which the rain is falling in square feet. Multiply the rainfall in inches by the area in square feet, then divide by 231 to convert to gallons. Finally, divide by the duration in minutes to get gallons per minute.


How many gallons of water in 10608 square feet?

You cannot convert a measure of area (square feet) to a measure of volume (gallons). Gallons is a measure of volume, or of 3 dimensions. You'd need cubic feet (not square feet) to convert it to gallons.
