How to convert molar flow rate
Molar flow rate is the amount of substance (in moles) passing a point per unit of time. It is used in chemical engineering and reactor design.
Every molar flow rate unit is a fixed multiple of one base unit, the mol/s. To convert a value, multiply it by the size of the starting unit and divide by the size of the target unit. For example, to convert kmol/h to mol/s, multiply by 0.2777777778. To go the other way, divide by 0.2777777778.
The converter above does this for you and shows the exact formula under the result.

Frequently asked questions
How many mol/s is 1 kmol/h?
One kilomole per hour is about 0.2778 moles per second (1,000 ÷ 3,600).
How do I convert kmol/h to mol/s?
Multiply the value in kmol/h by 0.2777777778 to get mol/s. For example, 10 kmol/h = 2.777777778 mol/s.
How many mol/s is 1 kmol/h?
1 kmol/h = 0.2777777778 mol/s, and 1 mol/s = 3.600000000 kmol/h.
