Convert Pound-moles per hour to Moles per hour
Convert Pound-moles per hour (lb-mol/h) to Moles per hour (mol/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mol/h = lb-mol/h × 453.59237
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 Moles per hour
The mole per hour (mol/h) equals 1/3600 mol/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ mol/s, practical for pilot-plant flow chemistry, laboratory gas manifold flow, and hydrogen production by small electrolysers. A 1 kW alkaline electrolyser at 100% Faradaic efficiency produces ≈18 mol H₂/h; bench-scale packed-bed reactors handle feed rates in mol/h. 1 mol/h ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ mol/s ≈ 0.002205 lb-mol/h.
