mi/min = µm/s × 3.728227153e-8
About Micrometres per Second
A micrometre per second (µm/s) is 10⁻⁶ m/s - the speed of cell motility, bacteria, and precision machining feeds. E. coli swims at 20-30 µm/s; the fastest bacteria (Thiovulum majus) reach 600 µm/s. Neutrophils chasing a chemoattractant move at 10-20 µm/s. Microfluidic lab-on-chip analytical channels flow at 1-1,000 µm/s. Diamond-turning lathe in-feeds for optical surfaces are 1-100 µm/s. Fast glacier centrelines move ~1-10 µm/s (~100 m/year). 1 µm/s = 10⁻⁶ m/s.
About Miles per Minute
A mile per minute (mi/min) = exactly 26.8224 m/s = 60 mph. The X-15 rocket plane flew at ~4.5 mi/min (Mach 6.7); the SR-71 Blackbird at ~2.1 mi/min (Mach 3.2). Speed of sound at sea level ≈ 0.77 mi/min. 'Mile-a-minute' (60 mph = 1 mi/min) was a historic railway milestone first achieved on the Great Western Railway in the 1840s. 1 mi/min = 96.5604 km/h.
