Convert Thermochemical calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius to Watt per square centimetre kelvin
Convert Thermochemical calorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(h·cm²·°C)) to Watt per square centimetre kelvin (W/(cm²·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
W/(cm²·K) = cal(th)/(h·cm²·°C) × 0.001162222222
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 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).
