About Pound-moles per hour
The pound-mole per hour (lb-mol/h) equals 453.59237/3600 ≈ 0.12600 mol/s, the standard molar flow unit in US chemical process engineering simulation (Aspen Plus, HYSYS, Pro/II). Distillation column feed rates, reactor effluent streams, and compressor suction flows are universally expressed in lb-mol/h in US petrochemical and refinery design. 1 lb-mol/h = 453.59237/3600 mol/s ≈ 0.12600 mol/s ≈ 0.4536 kmol/h.
About Micromoles per minute
The micromole per minute (µmol/min) equals 10⁻⁶/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ mol/s, the dominant enzyme-activity unit in biochemistry (1 µmol/min = 1 International Unit of enzyme activity). Spectrophotometric Vmax determinations, blood glucose consumption by the resting brain (≈12 µmol/min), and HPLC fraction collector outputs are expressed in µmol/min. 1 µmol/min = 1/60 µkat ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁸ mol/s.
