Convert International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius to Kilowatt per square metre kelvin
Convert International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C)) to Kilowatt per square metre kelvin (kW/(m²·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kW/(m²·K) = kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C) × 0.001163
About International table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius
The international table kilocalorie per hour per square metre per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C)) equals 4186.8/3600 ≈ 1.1633 W/(m²·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). The IT variant used in steam turbine, power plant, and process industry engineering. Numerically slightly larger than the thermochemical counterpart. 1 kcal(IT)/(h·m²·°C) ≈ 1.1633 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).
