About International table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square centimetre per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C)) equals 4186.8/0.36 = 11630 W/(m²·K) exactly (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²; 1 °C = 1 K). Used in IT-based thermodynamic tables for boiler tube surfaces and high-temperature process heat exchangers. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·cm²·°C) = 11630 W/(m²·K).
About Celsius Heat Unit per hour per square foot per degree Celsius
The Celsius heat unit per hour per square foot per degree Celsius (CHU/(h·ft²·°C)) equals ≈ 5.6783 W/(m²·K) - numerically identical to BTU(IT)/(h·ft²·°F). Used in UK and Canadian steam and process engineering; the temperature-interval ratio °F/°C = 5/9 is exactly compensated by the energy ratio CHU/BTU(IT) = 9/5, making both units numerically equal. 1 CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = 1 BTU(IT)/(h·ft²·°F) ≈ 5.6783 W/(m²·K).
