Use milliliter or liter to express the capacity of a sink?
The litre would be a much smaller number.
Is the best estimate for the capacity of a kichen sink?
The best estimate for the capacity of a standard kitchen sink typically ranges from 2 to 3 gallons (approximately 7.5 to 11.4 liters) for single-basin sinks, while double-basin sinks may have a combined capacity of around 4 to 6 gallons (15 to 23 liters). However, the actual capacity can vary based on the sink's design and dimensions. It's important to check the specifications of the specific sink model for precise measurements.
How much water would a sink hold?
Sinks come in all sizes and shapes, and the best ones have an overflow hole to prevent flooding the kitchen or bathroom should someone leave the room and forget to turn the taps off. When you buy a sink, it is usually stated that the capacity is in litres! But it is more usual to go by the size of the space the sink is expected to fill, the placement of the taps and the waste drain position. Then, of course, is it a single or double draining board, and is it stainless steel? After working out all that, the capacity takes second place, especially as I use a plastic washing up bowl that sits inside my stainless steel kitchen sink.
Should a disposal be hooked up to the smaller or larger side of the sink?
The location of the disposal doesn't make a significant difference. Some sinks have three compartments with a small compartment in the middle designed specificly for the disposal. If there is a small difference between the sizes of the compartments of the sink the disposal can be installed in either one.
What is an example in nature where the surface area to volume ratio would be important?
Ducks, because if it was too dense it would sink and drown
