24 hours (1 day & night: kalpa + pralaya) of Brahma = 8.64 billion solar years; 30 days (1 month) of Brahma = 259.2 billion solar years; 12 months (1 year) of Brahma = 3.1104 trillion solar years; 50 years (parardha) of Brahma = 155.52 trillion solar years; 100 years (lifespan: 2 parardhas) of Brahma = 311.04 trillion solar years
There are 14 manvantaras (4,294,080,000 years) in a kalpa with a remainder of 25,920,000 years assigned to 15 manvantara-sandhyas (junctures), each the length of a Satya Yuga (1,728,000 years). A kalpa is followed by a pralaya (night or partial dissolution) of equal length forming a full day (24-hour day).

According to the Mahabharata, 12 months of Brahma (=360 days) constitute his year, and 100 such years his life called a maha-kalpa (311.04 trillion years or 36,000 kalpa + 36,000 pralaya). Fifty years of Brahma are supposed to have elapsed, and we are now in the Shveta-Varaha Kalpa or the first day of his fifty-first year.
[1] [2] In the Rigveda , a yuga refers to generations, a period of time (whether long or short), or a yoke (joining of two things). [ 3 ] In the Mahabharata , the words yuga and kalpa (a day of Brahma ) are used interchangeably to describe the cycle of creation and destruction.
The IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft 3 /s. [1] The following other abbreviations are also sometimes used: ft 3 /sec; cu ft/s; cfs or CFS; cusec; second-feet; The flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time, is commonly expressed in units of cubic feet per second or cubic metres per second.
This translates to a hoppus foot being equal to 1.273 cubic feet (2,200 in 3; 0.0360 m 3). The hoppus board foot, when milled, yields about one board foot. The volume yielded by the quarter-girth formula is 78.54% of cubic measure (i.e. 1 ft 3 = 0.7854 h ft; 1 h ft = 1.273 ft 3). [46]
