Convert Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin to BTU per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit
Convert Milliwatt per centimetre kelvin (mW/(cm·K)) to BTU per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit (BTU/(s·ft·°F)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
BTU/(s·ft·°F) = mW/(cm·K) × 1.604970324e-5
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).
About BTU per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit
The BTU per second per foot per degree Fahrenheit (BTU/(s·ft·°F)) equals (1055.05585262 × 9)/(0.3048 × 5) W/(m·K) ≈6230.6 W/(m·K). Equal to 3600 × BTU/(h·ft·°F). Reserved for extremely high-power transient applications in US engineering literature; copper ≈0.0617; carbon steel ≈0.0072 BTU/(s·ft·°F). 1 BTU/(s·ft·°F) = 3600 BTU/(h·ft·°F) ≈6230.6 W/(m·K).
