Convert Milliwatt per square metre kelvin to Watt per square centimetre kelvin
Convert Milliwatt per square metre kelvin (mW/(m²·K)) to Watt per square centimetre kelvin (W/(cm²·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
W/(cm²·K) = mW/(m²·K) × 1.000000000e-7
About Milliwatt per square metre kelvin
The milliwatt per square metre kelvin (mW/(m²·K)) equals 10⁻³ W/(m²·K). Used in thermal characterization of advanced superinsulation panels and cryogenic multilayer insulation (MLI) in space applications, where effective heat transfer coefficients as low as 0.5-5 mW/(m²·K) are achieved in high-vacuum multilayer systems. 1 mW/(m²·K) = 10⁻³ 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).
