How to Convert Btu (IT)/hour/square foot to Dyne/hour/centimeter
Converting Btu (IT)/hour/square foot (Btu/(h·ft²)) to Dyne/hour/centimeter (dyn/(h·cm)) is a core calculation in Heat Flux Density, which measures the rate of thermal energy transfer radiating or conducting through a unit area per second. This calculation bridges modern MKSA metric standards with the historical Gaussian centimetre-gram-second (CGS) electrostatic and electromagnetic framework. In CGS systems, electromagnetic units (such as statvolts, abvolts, dynes, ergs, and gauss) are formulated directly from mechanical dimensions, with electrostatic-to-electromagnetic relations tied to the speed of light in vacuum (c ≈ 2.99792458 × 1010 cm/s). Exactly 1 Btu (IT)/hour/square foot translates to 113565.266822 Dyne/hour/centimeter (1 dyn/(h·cm) = 8.805509 × 10⁻⁶ Btu/(h·ft²)).
Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit
Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (watt per square meter (W/m²)) without arbitrary rounding:
