Can I use this converter for transient heat conduction scenarios?

No, this converter is designed for steady-state heat conduction unit conversions and may not be accurate for transient heat transfer applications.

Are temperature units of Celsius and Kelvin interchangeable in this conversion?

Yes, since the conversion uses temperature intervals, degrees Celsius and kelvin are equivalent for the purpose of these calculations.

Why is converting to watt/centimeter/°C useful?

Watt per centimeter per degree Celsius units align better with measurements involving small or thin samples, such as in electronics or thin film materials.
