Convert Kilocalorie per metre per hour per degree Celsius to Megawatt per metre kelvin
Convert Kilocalorie per metre per hour per degree Celsius (kcal/(m·h·°C)) to Megawatt per metre kelvin (MW/(m·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MW/(m·K) = kcal/(m·h·°C) × 1.163000000e-6
About Kilocalorie per metre per hour per degree Celsius
The kcal/(m·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/3600 W/(m·K) = 1.163 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). Used in pre-SI continental European engineering literature, older DIN/BS standards, and Soviet-era technical documentation. Brick: ≈0.6; dense concrete: ≈1.3; carbon steel: ≈38 kcal/(m·h·°C). 1 kcal/(m·h·°C) = 1.163 W/(m·K).
About Megawatt per metre kelvin
The megawatt per metre kelvin (MW/(m·K)) equals exactly 10⁶ W/(m·K). A theoretical and research unit for modelling exotic or nanostructured materials: theoretical carbon nanotube axial conductivity predictions and astrophysical plasma heat transport can reach the MW/(m·K) range. No bulk engineering material approaches this value. 1 MW/(m·K) = 10⁶ W/(m·K) = 1000 kW/(m·K).
