About Square metres per second
The square metre per second (m²/s) is the SI unit for thermal diffusivity (α = k / ρc_p). It defines how fast a temperature disturbance propagates through a material. Diamond: ≈5 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s; silver: ≈1.65 × 10⁻⁴ m²/s; aluminium: ≈8.4 × 10⁻⁵ m²/s; iron: ≈1.8 × 10⁻⁵ m²/s; concrete: ≈6 × 10⁻⁷ m²/s; water: ≈1.4 × 10⁻⁷ m²/s. 1 m²/s = 10⁶ mm²/s = 10⁴ cm²/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.
