Convert Millimoles per minute to Moles per second
Convert Millimoles per minute (mmol/min) to Moles per second (mol/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mol/s = mmol/min × 1.666666667e-5
About Millimoles per minute
The millimole per minute (mmol/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ mol/s, the practical unit for metabolic flux in perfused organ systems and for HPLC column loading on preparative scale. A resting human heart consumes ≈3 mmol O₂/min via aerobic metabolism; continuous-flow reaction calorimeters for process safety studies operate at mmol/min feed rates. 1 mmol/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ mol/s.
About Moles per second
The mole per second (mol/s) is the SI coherent derived unit of molar flow rate, numerically equal to the katal (kat) for catalytic activity contexts. Industrial ammonia synthesis (Haber-Bosch) produces ≈50 mol/s of NH₃ per tonne/h output; a large turbine combustion chamber burns natural gas at ≈500 mol/s of CH₄. It is the reference unit in process simulation mass balances. 1 mol/s = 3 600 mol/h = 60 mol/min.
