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 Thermochemical calorie per second per square centimetre

The thermochemical calorie per second per square centimetre (cal(th)/(s·cm²)) equals exactly 41840 W/m² (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). The CGS unit for very high heat flux: ablation heat flux during atmospheric re-entry ≈ 1-100 cal/(s·cm²). Used in plasma physics and aerospace thermal protection. 1 cal(th)/(s·cm²) = 41840 W/m².
