What does calorie (th)/minute/square centimeter measure?

It measures heat flux density as thermochemical calories transferred per minute across one square centimeter, expressing power per unit area.

Why use dyne/hour/centimeter as a unit?

It is a CGS-derived unit useful for reporting very small heat fluxes and interpreting older laboratory or astrophysical data where CGS units were standard.

Is this conversion commonly needed today?

It is mainly needed when working with historical data or specialized small-scale heat-transfer experiments involving both calorie-based and CGS unit systems.
