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 International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre

The international table kilocalorie per hour per square metre (kcal(IT)/(h·m²)) equals 4186.8/3600 ≈ 1.1633 W/m² (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s). The IT variant used in steam engineering, solar thermal collector standards, and process heat calculations. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·m²) ≈ 1.1633 W/m².
