Exact RatioAbout Watt per Square Meter Kelvin (W/(m²·K))
The SI unit of convective heat transfer coefficient (h) and overall thermal transmittance (U-factor), defined as the thermal power in watts conducted per square meter of surface per kelvin temperature difference.
History: Formulated in Newton’s law of cooling (q" = h ΔT) and standardized in international building energy codes.
Common Uses: Building window and wall U-values, heat exchanger design, convective cooling calculations.
About Kilowatt per Square Meter Kelvin (kW/(m²·K))
Heat transfer coefficient equal to 1,000 W/(m²·K).
History: Used for extremely high heat transfer regimes such as boiling heat transfer and liquid metal cooling.
Common Uses: Nucleate boiling, liquid metal reactor cooling, microchannel heat sinks.
