About Metric tons per second
The metric tonne per second (t/s) equals 1 000 kg/s, the largest commonly cited mass-flow unit for catastrophic events and mega-scale engineering. The Chicxulub impactor released energy equivalent to removing ≈7×10¹¹ t of TNT over milliseconds; large submarine volcanic eruptions expel lava at 10³-10⁴ t/s. Industrial context: the Three Gorges Dam passes ≈45 000 m³/s of water = ≈45 000 t/s at peak flood. 1 t/s = 1 000 kg/s ≈ 1.102 short ton/s.
About Kilograms per day
The kilogram per day (kg/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ kg/s, standard in environmental engineering for pollutant load calculations and water-treatment material dosing. Activated-carbon dosing for a water-treatment plant, sludge dewatering output, and river sediment transport surveys all use kg/d. A medium river in flood may move 10 000-100 000 kg/d of suspended solids. 1 kg/d ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ kg/s.
