Convert Megalitres per day to Cubic feet per minute
Convert Megalitres per day (ML/d) to Cubic feet per minute (ft³/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/min = ML/d × 24.52407411
About Megalitres per day
The megalitre per day (ML/d) equals 1000/86400 ≈ 0.011574 m³/s, numerically identical to million litres per day. It is the preferred notation in Australian water-authority reporting, environmental flow assessments, and reservoir storage accounting. Murray-Darling Basin environmental flows are specified in ML/d; urban water utilities publish reservoir capacity and daily draw in ML/d. 1 ML/d ≈ 0.011574 m³/s = 1 000 m³/d.
About Cubic feet per minute
The cubic foot per minute (cfm or ft³/min) equals 0.028316846592/60 ≈ 4.719×10⁻⁴ m³/s, the dominant unit for ventilation, HVAC airflow, and compressed-air system design in the US. ASHRAE ventilation standards, building-code fresh-air requirements, and dust-collector capacity are all stated in cfm. A residential HVAC system moves 800-1 200 cfm; an industrial dust collector handles 2 000-20 000 cfm. 1 cfm ≈ 0.4719 L/s.
