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 Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre
The thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre (kcal(th)/(h·cm²)) equals 4184/(3600×10⁻⁴) ≈ 11622 W/m² (= 10⁴ × kcal(th)/(h·m²)). A high-flux variant of the metric heat flux unit found in older combustion engineering and furnace design references. 1 kcal(th)/(h·cm²) ≈ 11622 W/m².
