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.
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.
