About Metric tons per day
The metric tonne per day (t/d) equals 1 000/86400 ≈ 0.011574 kg/s, standard in hydrometallurgy, wastewater treatment, and environmental mass-balance reporting. A large copper smelter processes 2 000-3 000 t/d of ore; a modern desalination plant produces 100 000-500 000 t/d of potable water; IPCS industrial emission guidelines use t/d for stack mass rates. 1 t/d ≈ 0.011574 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/d.
About Kilograms per second
The kilogram per second (kg/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of mass flow rate relevant across all branches of engineering. Jet turbofan engines pass 100-800 kg/s of air through the core and bypass duct combined; drinking-water intake pipelines for a city of one million people sustain flow rates of 1 000-4 000 kg/s. It is the reference unit in the continuity equation and mass-conservation calculations. 1 kg/s = 3 600 kg/h ≈ 2.205 lb/s.
