About Milliwatt per square metre

The milliwatt per square metre (mW/m²) equals 10⁻³ W/m². Relevant in geothermal surveys: global average continental heat flux ≈ 65 mW/m², oceanic ≈ 101 mW/m². Used in building physics for quantifying very small heat leakage through ultra-high-performance insulation. 1 mW/m² = 10⁻³ W/m² = 1 erg/(s·cm²).

About International table BTU per second per square foot

The international table BTU per second per square foot (BTU(IT)/(s·ft²)) equals 1055.05585262/0.09290304 ≈ 11357 W/m² (= 3600 × BTU(IT)/(h·ft²)). Used for extreme heat flux: atmospheric re-entry aerodynamic heating, solid rocket nozzle throat, and nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics design. 1 BTU(IT)/(s·ft²) ≈ 11357 W/m².
