About Watt per square metre
The watt per square metre (W/m²) is the SI coherent unit for heat flux density and irradiance. Solar irradiance at Earth's surface ≈ 1000 W/m²; solar constant ≈ 1361 W/m²; human skin radiative emission ≈ 100 W/m²; global average geothermal flux ≈ 0.087 W/m². Referenced in ISO 80000-4. 1 W/m² = 1 J/(s·m²) = 10⁻³ kW/m².
About International table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre (kcal(IT)/(h·cm²)) equals 4186.8/(3600×10⁻⁴) = 11630 W/m² exactly (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). Used in IT-based thermodynamics for high heat flux surfaces such as boiler tubes. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·cm²) = 11630 W/m².
