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 Slugs per hour
The slug per hour (slug/h) equals 14.5939029372/3600 ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s, used in aviation aerodynamics problems expressed in foot-pound-second units. Engine mass-flow data from legacy US military specifications and NASA test reports use slug/h as an intermediate unit between the tiny slug/s and large slug/day. 1 slug/h ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s ≈ 32.174 lb/h.
