Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert from calorie (IT)/hour/cm² to calorie (IT)/minute/cm²?
-
To obtain heat flux density values at a finer time scale, enabling more detailed thermal analysis and comparison where minute resolution is required.
-
Is calorie (IT) a standard SI unit for heat flux?
-
No, calorie (IT) units are non-SI and used mainly in specific older engineering contexts or thermal testing protocols.
-
Can this conversion be used for fluctuating heat flux measurements?
-
The conversion assumes steady heat flux; fluctuating or transient conditions may need more specialized temporal analysis.
