Can this conversion be used for transient heat transfer?

No, the conversion assumes steady heat transfer rates and may not accurately represent transient conditions.

Are calorie-based units still widely used?

Calorie units are largely historical; modern applications prefer SI units like watts per square meter for consistency and precision.

Convert Calorie (th)/minute/cm² to Calorie (th)/second/cm²

Q: Why convert from calorie (th)/minute/cm² to calorie (th)/second/cm²?

This helps express heat flux density on a per-second basis for compatibility with instruments and literature that report rates in seconds, enabling standardized analysis.

Easily convert heat flux density values from calorie (th)/minute/square centimeter to calorie (th)/second/square centimeter for laboratory calorimetry and engineering applications.
