Convert International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius to Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin
Convert International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C)) to Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
mW/(cm·K) = cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) × 4186.8
About International table calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius
The cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) equals exactly 4.1868/0.01 = 418.68 W/(m·K) (1 international table calorie = 4.1868 J). Used in pre-SI thermodynamics, steam tables, and international heat transfer references. Copper: ≈0.920 cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C). Slightly larger than cal(th)/(cm·s·°C). 1 cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C) = 418.68 W/(m·K).
About Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin
The milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) equals exactly 0.1 W/(m·K). Used in semiconductor and thermoelectric materials research: bismuth telluride ≈15 mW/(cm·K), yttria-stabilised zirconia ≈2 mW/(cm·K). Bridges the scale gap between mW/(m·K) for insulators and W/(m·K) for bulk solids. 1 mW/(cm·K) = 0.1 W/(m·K) = 100 mW/(m·K).
