About Milligrams per hour
The milligram per hour (mg/h) equals 10⁻⁶/3600 ≈ 2.778×10⁻¹⁰ kg/s, adopted in transdermal drug-patch pharmacokinetics to express dermal absorption rate. A nicotine patch typically releases 14-21 mg over 24 h, corresponding to ≈0.58-0.88 mg/h. Environmental emission tests for laboratory fume hoods also express contaminant escape in mg/h. 1 mg/h = 1/3600 mg/s.
About Pounds per hour
The pound per hour (lb/h) equals 0.45359237/3600 ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s, the dominant unit in US process engineering and steam-boiler rating. Packaged steam boilers are rated in lb/h of steam output (typical range 100-2 000 lb/h); HVAC cooling-coil latent loads are calculated in lb/h of moisture; flue-gas emission inventories are reported in lb/h per stack. 1 lb/h ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s.
