About Ounces per day
The ounce per day (oz/d) equals 0.028349523125/86400 ≈ 3.281×10⁻⁷ kg/s, used in US clinical nutrition (tube-feeding rates, oral-supplement intake) and very-low flow industrial metering. A patient receiving 6 oz of enteral formula per hour (via a drip-tube) receives ≈144 oz/d. 1 oz/d ≈ 3.281×10⁻⁷ kg/s.
About Slugs per second
The slug per second (slug/s) equals 14.5939029372 kg/s, derived from the Imperial system where 1 slug = 1 lb·s²/ft ≈ 14.594 kg. The slug is the coherent mass unit in the foot-pound-second system; rocket propulsion engineers using US customary units express mass flow in slug/s. A standard American rocket engine consuming 75 000 lb/s of propellant corresponds to ≈75 000/32.174 ≈ 1 830 slug/s. 1 slug/s = 14.5939029372... kg/s.
