How to Convert Calories per Second-Sq. cm-°C to Watts per Square Meter-°C

To convert calories per second-sq. cm-°c to watts per square meter-°c, multiply the heat transfer coefficient by the following conversion ratio: 41,840 watts per square meter-°c/calorie per second-sq. cm-°c.

Since one calorie per second-sq. cm-°c is equal to 41,840 watts per square meter-°c, you can use this simple formula to convert:

watts per square meter-°c = calories per second-sq. cm-°c × 41,840

The heat transfer coefficient in watts per square meter-°c is equal to the heat transfer coefficient in calories per second-sq. cm-°c multiplied by 41,840.

For example, here's how to convert 5 calories per second-sq. cm-°c to watts per square meter-°c using the formula above.

watts per square meter-°c = (5 cal/(s·cm²·°C) × 41,840) = 209,200 W/(m²·°C)

How Many Watts per Square Meter-°C Are in a Calorie per Second-Sq. cm-°C?

There are 41,840 watts per square meter-°c in a calorie per second-sq. cm-°c, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 cal/(s·cm²·°C) = 41,840 W/(m²·°C)|1 W/(m²·°C) = 0.000023901 cal/(s·cm²·°C)
