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).
About International table calorie per second per square centimetre per degree Celsius
The international table calorie per second per square centimetre per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(s·cm²·°C)) equals exactly 41868 W/(m²·K) (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²; 1 °C = 1 K). Slightly larger than the thermochemical variant; used in IT-based thermophysical property tables for extreme thermal environments such as nuclear and fusion reactor surfaces. 1 cal(IT)/(s·cm²·°C) = 41868 W/(m²·K).
