About Thermochemical calorie per second per square centimetre
The thermochemical calorie per second per square centimetre (cal(th)/(s·cm²)) equals exactly 41840 W/m² (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). The CGS unit for very high heat flux: ablation heat flux during atmospheric re-entry ≈ 1-100 cal/(s·cm²). Used in plasma physics and aerospace thermal protection. 1 cal(th)/(s·cm²) = 41840 W/m².
About International table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre (kcal(IT)/(h·cm²)) equals 4186.8/(3600×10⁻⁴) = 11630 W/m² exactly (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). Used in IT-based thermodynamics for high heat flux surfaces such as boiler tubes. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·cm²) = 11630 W/m².
