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).
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).
