Convert Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre to Megawatt per square metre
Convert Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre (kcal(th)/(h·m²)) to Megawatt per square metre (MW/m²) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MW/m² = kcal(th)/(h·m²) × 1.162222222e-6
About Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre
The thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square metre (kcal(th)/(h·m²)) equals 4184/3600 ≈ 1.1622 W/m² (1 kcal(th) = 4184 J; 1 h = 3600 s). Used in older continental European and Soviet-era building physics standards for wall and roof heat loss calculations. 1 kcal(th)/(h·m²) ≈ 1.1622 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.
