Convert Thermochemical calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius to Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin

Convert Thermochemical calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(cm·s·°C)) to Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) instantly and accurately.

Thermochemical calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(cm·s·°C))
Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K))

Conversion Formula

mW/(cm·K) = cal(th)/(cm·s·°C) × 4184

About Thermochemical calorie per centimetre per second per degree Celsius

The cal(th)/(cm·s·°C) equals exactly 4.184/0.01 = 418.4 W/(m·K) (1 thermochemical calorie = 4.184 J). The CGS thermal conductivity unit dominant in US physics and chemistry before SI adoption. Copper: ≈0.921; aluminium: ≈0.489 cal(th)/(cm·s·°C). Not equal to cal(IT)/(cm·s·°C). 1 cal(th)/(cm·s·°C) = 418.4 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).
