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

It measures heat flux density as the amount of thermochemical calories transferred per minute across one square centimeter.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute/cm² to erg/hour/mm²?

Conversion helps compare heat flux data from calorie-based units to CGS-based erg units, especially useful for legacy data and small-area heat transfer studies.

Does this conversion handle localized heat flux variations?

No, the conversion assumes uniform heat flux and may not account for localized differences in heat transfer.
