Frequently Asked Questions

What does watt per square centimeter measure?
It quantifies heat flux density as the rate of energy transfer in watts through each square centimeter of a surface.

Why convert to erg/hour per square millimeter?
To express heat flux in CGS-derived units useful for small-scale or legacy scientific experiments and astrophysical measurements.

Is this conversion suitable for high-power engineering applications?
No, erg/hour/mm² is better suited for small-area or legacy data rather than high-power contexts.

Key Terminology
