About Short tons per day
The short ton per day (ton/d, US) equals 907.18474/86400 ≈ 0.010499 kg/s, the capacity unit for mid-size mining operations, smelters, and US water-treatment chemical dosing. A small gold mine may process 500-1 000 short ton/d of ore; activated-sludge wastewater plants dose chemicals in short ton/d. 1 short ton/d ≈ 0.010499 kg/s ≈ 2 000 lb/d.
About Slugs per hour
The slug per hour (slug/h) equals 14.5939029372/3600 ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s, used in aviation aerodynamics problems expressed in foot-pound-second units. Engine mass-flow data from legacy US military specifications and NASA test reports use slug/h as an intermediate unit between the tiny slug/s and large slug/day. 1 slug/h ≈ 4.054×10⁻³ kg/s ≈ 32.174 lb/h.
