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 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).
