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 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).
