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).

About Kilocalorie per centimetre per hour per degree Celsius

The kcal/(cm·h·°C) equals exactly 4186.8/36 W/(m·K) = 116.3 W/(m·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J; 1 h = 3600 s; 1 cm = 0.01 m). Used in older CGS-metric European and Soviet literature for metallic heat transfer. Steel: ≈0.137; copper: ≈3.31 kcal/(cm·h·°C). 1 kcal/(cm·h·°C) = 116.3 W/(m·K) = 100 × kcal/(m·h·°C).
