Convert International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius to Kilowatt per square metre kelvin
Convert International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C)) to Kilowatt per square metre kelvin (kW/(m²·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kW/(m²·K) = cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C) × 0.01163
About International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The international table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C)) equals 4.1868/0.36 = 11.63 W/(m²·K) (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J). The IT variant of the CGS heat transfer unit, encountered in steam engineering references and international process industry tables alongside kcal(IT)-based figures. 1 cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C) = 11.63 W/(m²·K).
About Kilowatt per square metre kelvin
The kilowatt per square metre kelvin (kW/(m²·K)) equals exactly 1000 W/(m²·K). Characteristic of high-performance industrial applications: nucleate pool boiling of water reaches 5-50 kW/(m²·K), compact plate heat exchangers with liquid-liquid flow achieve 3-8 kW/(m²·K), and jet impingement cooling on metal surfaces can exceed 10 kW/(m²·K). 1 kW/(m²·K) = 10³ W/(m²·K).
