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 Watt per square centimetre
The watt per square centimetre (W/cm²) equals exactly 10⁴ W/m². A practical unit in laser physics, plasma engineering, and nuclear thermal hydraulics. Nuclear fuel cladding heat flux ≈ 1-5 W/cm²; laser diodes ≈ 10-100 W/cm²; focused CO₂ laser cutting ≈ 10⁴ W/cm². 1 W/cm² = 10⁴ W/m² = 10 kW/m².
