What are Watt/square and Calorie

Definition of Watt/square

Watt per square inch (W/in²) measures the power distributed over a specific area, often used in contexts like heaters or electronics where power density is crucial. It quantifies how much energy is being transferred over a square inch of surface area every second. Understanding this measurement helps in evaluating the efficiency and performance of devices that generate or use heat or power. The higher the watt per square inch value, the more intense the power output is on that particular surface area, making it a critical factor in design and engineering applications.

Definition of Calorie

A calorie, specifically a thermal calorie (cal(th)), is a unit of energy that quantifies the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. It's widely used in the field of nutrition to express the energy content of foods, but it also finds relevance in physics and engineering. In scientific contexts, calories help in understanding and calculating thermal energy transfer in various processes, aiding in the design of thermal systems and the assessment of energy efficiency.

9 W/in² 58.0644 cal(th)/s/cm²
10 W/in² 64.5160 cal(th)/s/cm²

Conversion of Watt/square to Calorie

1 W/in² = 6.4516 cal(th)/s/cm²
1 cal(th)/s/cm² = 0.155 W/in²

Example 1:
Convert 10 W/in² to cal(th)/s/cm²:
10 W/in² = 10 × 6.4516 cal(th)/s/cm² = 64.516 cal(th)/s/cm²

Example 2:
Convert 5 cal(th)/s/cm² to W/in²:
5 cal(th)/s/cm² = 5 × 0.155 W/in² = 0.775 W/in²
