Formula

Formula
cal/(cm²·s) = MW/m² × 23.90057

Multiply any value in megawatts per square metre by 23.90057 to obtain the value in calories per square centimetre-second.

Worked example

Convert 1 MW/m² to cal/(cm²·s).

  1. 01Start with 1 MW/m².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 23.90057 = 23.9006 cal/(cm²·s).
Result1 MW/m² = 23.9006 cal/(cm²·s)

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from MW/m² to cal/(cm²·s)?
1 MW/m² equals 23.90057 cal/(cm²·s). To convert, multiply the value in megawatts per square metre by 23.90057.
How do I convert 1 MW/m² to cal/(cm²·s)?
1 MW/m² = 23.9006 cal/(cm²·s). For any value, multiply by 23.90057.
How do I convert cal/(cm²·s) back to MW/m²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.04184. So 1 cal/(cm²·s) = 0.04184 MW/m².
When would I need to convert megawatt per square metre to calorie per square centimetre-second?
Heat-flux conversions between MW/m² and cal/(cm²·s) appear in radiative-heat-transfer analysis, furnace and reactor design, electronics cooling, and solar-energy calculations. W/m² is the SI standard; BTU/(hr·ft²) and kcal/(hr·m²) appear in US and legacy European datasheets.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
