About Kilowatt per Square Meter-Kelvin (kW/(m²·K))
A heat-transfer-coefficient unit equal to 1,000 W/(m²·K). Used for high-performance heat-transfer situations — boiling, condensation, dropwise heat transfer, compact-heat-exchanger surfaces — where values exceed a few thousand W/(m²·K). Common in CHX (compact heat exchanger) specifications and two-phase-flow research.
About Calorie per Second-Square Centimeter-Celsius (cal/(s·cm²·°C))
A CGS unit of heat-transfer coefficient (= 41,840 W/(m²·K)) mostly found in older chemistry and thermochemistry literature. Very large unit; rarely used today because most engineering has converged on W/(m²·K) or BTU/(hr·ft²·°F).
