About Kilolitres per day
The kilolitre per day (kL/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s, the standard unit for per-household and per-property water-consumption billing in Australia. Sydney Water and other Australian utilities charge tariffs per kL/d consumed; a typical Australian household uses 0.6-1.0 kL/d. 1 kL/d = 1 m³/d ≈ 264.2 US gal/d.
About US barrels per hour
The US barrel per hour (bbl/h) equals 0.158987294928/3600 ≈ 4.416×10⁻⁵ m³/s, standard in petroleum-refinery process engineering for crude-oil unit feed rates and product run-downs. Crude-distillation unit (CDU) feed is sized in bbl/h; a 100 000 bbl/d refinery processes ≈4 167 bbl/h. Process simulation software (Aspen HYSYS) uses bbl/h by default for petroleum streams. 1 bbl/h ≈ 4.416×10⁻⁵ m³/s.
