Key Terminology
- Watt per square meter per kelvin (W·m⁻²·K⁻¹)
- SI unit measuring the heat transfer coefficient indicating heat flux per unit area and temperature difference in kelvin.
- Kilocalorie (IT)/hour/square meter/°C
- A unit of heat transfer coefficient expressing steady heat flow per unit area and per degree Celsius temperature difference, used in regional and legacy engineering contexts.
- Heat transfer coefficient
- A measure of heat transfer rate per unit area and temperature difference between a surface and its surroundings.
