Frequently Asked Questions

What does horsepower (metric)/square foot measure?
It measures heat flux density as metric horsepower power distributed over one square foot of area, indicating the rate of heat transfer per unit area.

Why convert to kilowatt/square meter?
Kilowatt per square meter is the SI standard unit for heat flux density, useful for consistent scientific and engineering calculations involving heat transfer.

Can this conversion be used for non-uniform heat flux?
No, this conversion assumes uniform distribution of heat power and does not account for transient or varying heat transfer conditions.

Key Terminology

Horsepower (metric)/square foot
A heat flux density unit representing one metric horsepower of power distributed over one square foot.
Kilowatt/square meter
An SI unit measuring heat flux density as kilowatts of heat transfer per square meter of surface area.
Heat flux density
The rate of heat transfer per unit surface area, combining conductive, convective, or radiative heat flows.
