About Kilograms per square metre per second
The kilogram per square metre per second (kg/(m²·s)) is the SI coherent unit of mass flux density, equal to 1 kg·m⁻²·s⁻¹. It appears directly in the continuity equation (ṁ = ρv) and in Stefan's law for evaporation. Rocket nozzle throat mass flux can reach 500-2000 kg/(m²·s); convective heat exchangers: 100-500 kg/(m²·s). 1 kg/(m²·s) = 1 000 g/(m²·s).
About Pounds per square inch per second
The pound per square inch per second (lb/(in²·s)) equals 0.45359237/(0.0254 × 0.0254) ≈ 703.07 kg/(m²·s). It is used in US firearms ballistics, shaped-charge and explosives engineering, and hydraulic press analysis where forces per square inch dominate the unit system. 1 lb/(in²·s) ≈ 703.07 kg/(m²·s) = 144 lb/(ft²·s).
