Frequently Asked Questions
- What does watt per square meter per degree Celsius measure?
- It measures the heat transfer coefficient, indicating the rate of heat transfer per unit area for each degree Celsius of temperature difference.
- Why convert from watt/square meter/°C to kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square foot/°C?
- Converting allows expression of heat transfer coefficients in units commonly used in HVAC, building energy calculations, and contexts requiring imperial area and energy units.
- Can I use this conversion for transient heat transfer situations?
- No, this conversion assumes steady-state conditions; transient or complex heat transfer scenarios require more advanced analysis.
- Are the temperature difference units °C and K interchangeable for this conversion?
- Yes, per the tool's definitions, the per-degree Celsius unit is equivalent to per-Kelvin for temperature differences in this context.
Key Terminology
- Heat Transfer Coefficient
- A measure of heat transfer rate per unit area for each degree of temperature difference across a surface.
- Watt per Square Meter per Degree Celsius (W·m⁻²·°C⁻¹)
- A unit quantifying heat transfer coefficient as the power transferred per square meter area per 1 °C temperature difference.
- Kilocalorie (IT) per Hour per Square Foot per Degree Celsius
- A heat transfer coefficient unit expressing how many international-table kilocalories pass through one square foot of surface per hour for each 1 °C temperature difference.
