Convert Thermochemical calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius to Kilowatt per square metre kelvin
Convert Thermochemical calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(h·cm²·°C)) to Kilowatt per square metre kelvin (kW/(m²·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kW/(m²·K) = cal(th)/(h·cm²·°C) × 0.01162222222
About Thermochemical calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The thermochemical calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(h·cm²·°C)) equals 4.184/0.36 ≈ 11.622 W/(m²·K) (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). A CGS-derived unit found in older heat transfer textbooks and chemical engineering publications, especially in Eastern European and Japanese technical literature. 1 cal(th)/(h·cm²·°C) ≈ 11.622 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).
