About International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square metre (kcal(IT)/(h·m²)) equals 4186.8/3600 ≈ 1.1633 W/m² (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s). The IT variant used in steam engineering, solar thermal collector standards, and process heat calculations. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·m²) ≈ 1.1633 W/m².
About Megawatt per square metre
The megawatt per square metre (MW/m²) equals exactly 10⁶ W/m². Used in fusion reactor engineering (plasma-facing components: 10-20 MW/m²), concentrated solar power tower receivers (≈1-3 MW/m²), and hypervelocity shock studies. Numerically equal to W/mm². 1 MW/m² = 10⁶ W/m² = 1 W/mm².
