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.
About Long tons per day
The long ton per day (long ton/d) equals 1 016.0469088/86400 ≈ 0.011760 kg/s, used in legacy British mining reports for daily colliery output and in Naval fuel-consumption logs. Historic British Admiralty fuel expenditure tables for Royal Navy warships used long ton/d for bunker coal or oil consumption at various speeds. 1 long ton/d ≈ 0.011760 kg/s ≈ 1.016 t/d.
