Convert Kilowatt per square metre to Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre
Convert Kilowatt per square metre (kW/m²) to Thermochemical kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre (kcal(th)/(h·cm²)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kcal(th)/(h·cm²) = kW/m² × 0.08604206501
About Kilowatt per square metre
The kilowatt per square metre (kW/m²) equals exactly 1000 W/m². Standard for concentrated solar collectors (parabolic trough ≈ 20-80 kW/m² at focus), industrial infrared heaters, and induction heating surfaces. 1 kW/m² = 1000 W/m² = 0.1 W/cm² = 100 mW/cm².
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.
