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 Short hundredweights per day
The short hundredweight per day (cwt/d, US) equals 45.359237/86400 ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁴ kg/s. It appears in US agricultural reports where daily throughput of commodity crops (corn, soybeans, hay) or daily milk yield per herd is stated in short cwt/d. A modern dairy farm averaging 80 lb/cow/d at 1 000 cows produces 800 cwt/d. 1 short cwt/d ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁴ kg/s.
