What does erg/hour/square millimeter measure?

It measures heat flux density as energy transferred per unit time through a tiny area using CGS energy units and metric area.

Why convert to horsepower (metric)/square foot?

Converting helps translate small-scale lab or microelectronic data into larger industrial contexts where metric horsepower and imperial area are common.

Are there challenges using these mixed units?

Yes, because metric horsepower and square foot units combine different measurement systems, careful use and clear documentation are advised.
