About Square millimetres per hour

The square millimetre per hour (mm²/h) equals 1/3 600 000 000 m²/s, the smallest practical thermal diffusivity unit. It is used in very slow heat-transfer processes such as diffusion through frozen soils or phase-change materials studied over many hours. Heavy clay soils can show diffusivity values of 1-2 mm²/h. 1 mm²/h = 1e-6/3600 m²/s.

About Square feet per second

The square foot per second (ft²/s) equals 0.09290304 m²/s, the imperial base unit for thermal diffusivity analogous to m²/s. It is used in US aerospace engineering and combustion research for highly conductive materials and high-temperature plasmas. Diamond, the most thermally diffusive solid at ≈7 cm²/s, converts to ≈0.0075 ft²/s; silver to ≈0.00167 ft²/s. 1 ft²/s = 3600 ft²/h = 0.09290304 m²/s.
