About Pounds per second
The pound per second (lb/s) equals 0.45359237 kg/s, widely used in aerospace and large industrial equipment. A Saturn V first-stage engine consumed ≈13 short tons of propellant per second, equal to ≈26 000 lb/s; a typical large centrifugal pump handling water moves ≈500-2000 lb/s at operating flow. 1 lb/s = 0.45359237 kg/s ≈ 3 600 lb/h.
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.
