Convert Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre to Megawatt per square metre
Convert Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre (kcal(th)/(h·cm²)) to Megawatt per square metre (MW/m²) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MW/m² = kcal(th)/(h·cm²) × 0.01162222222
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.
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.
