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.
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.
