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

It measures heat flux density as the amount of thermochemical calories transferred per second across a square centimeter of area.

Why use dyne/hour/centimeter units?

This unit is useful for representing very small heat or radiative fluxes, particularly in older CGS-based literature and specialized laboratory settings.

Is the dyne/hour/centimeter a standard unit?

No, it is a nonstandard CGS-derived unit and is rarely used in modern applications.
