Convert International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius to Watt per square centimetre kelvin
Convert International table calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C)) to Watt per square centimetre kelvin (W/(cm²·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
W/(cm²·K) = cal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C) × 0.001163
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 Watt per square centimetre kelvin
The watt per square centimetre kelvin (W/(cm²·K)) equals exactly 10⁴ W/(m²·K). Relevant for extreme cooling: nuclear reactor fuel rod cladding surfaces reach up to 5 W/(cm²·K), spray cooling and microjet impingement in power electronics reach 1-10 W/(cm²·K), and condensation of refrigerants can approach 1 W/(cm²·K). 1 W/(cm²·K) = 10⁴ W/(m²·K) = 10 kW/(m²·K).
