Convert Square metres per hour to Square centimetres per second

Convert Square metres per hour (m²/h) to Square centimetres per second (cm²/s) instantly and accurately.

Conversion Formula

cm²/s = m²/h × 2.777777778

About Square metres per hour

The square metre per hour (m²/h) equals 1/3600 m²/s ≈2.778 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s, used in large-scale geotechnical and civil engineering analyses. Soil consolidation models and groundwater thermal plume simulations often use m²/h because the full diffusion process unfolds over hours to days. 1 m²/h = 10 000 cm²/h ≈ 2.778 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s.

About Square centimetres per second

The square centimetre per second (cm²/s) equals 1 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s and is the CGS unit for thermal diffusivity, sometimes called the stokes by analogy with kinematic viscosity. Pre-SI thermophysics literature and many older reference databases list values in cm²/s: iron ≈0.18 cm²/s; aluminium ≈0.84 cm²/s; water ≈1.4 × 10⁻³ cm²/s. 1 cm²/s = 1 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s.
