about 98,348 gallons per minute of all fuels used combined.
The external fuel tank caries 146,182 US gallons of liquid oxygen and 395,582 US gallons of liquid hydrogen to fuel the orbiter's main engines. Each of the 2 Solid Rocket Boosters each contains 1,100,000 pounds of propellent consisting of ammonium percholate, iron oxide, and aluminum. Electrical power is provided by fuel cells. The solid rocket boosters fire for approximately 2 minutes when they are jetisoned and recovered for reuse on later missions. The orbiter drains the external fuel tank within the first 8 minutes after launch and jetisons it to burn up in the atmosphere.
The space shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986.
No. The large orange External Tank or ET as it is called is jettisoned at about the 8 minute mark of the flight and burns up in the earths atmosphere during its reentry.
The Solid Rocket Booster is detached and dropped after the first minute or two of flight. It may then be recovered and used again.

Gallons per minute. This is usually used with liquid flow, like from a pump.
With no pressure (that being the P in PSI), it is next to impossible for any liquid, let alone gallons of liquid, to pass through piping at any length.
Divide it by 60 to get 33.333 gallons per minute.
4.483 US gallons per minute.
To convert 11 gallons per day to gallons per minute, you need to divide by the number of minutes in a day (1440 minutes). 11 gallons/day / 1440 minutes/day ≈ 0.0076 gallons per minute.
Use this formula: gallons per minute x 3.785 = liters per minute
96 gallons per minute = about 363.4 liters per minute.

2½-5½ gallons per minute
If there are x number of gallons per second, multiply that number by 60=gallons per minute.
