About Milliwatt per square centimetre
The milliwatt per square centimetre (mW/cm²) equals exactly 10 W/m² (1 mW = 10⁻³ W; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). Widely used in photonics, laser safety standards (IEC 60825), and UV dosimetry. Solar irradiance at Earth's surface ≈ 100 mW/cm². 1 mW/cm² = 10 W/m² = 0.001 W/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.
