How to Convert BTU (th)/second/sq. inch to Dyne/hour/centimeter

Converting BTU (th)/second/sq. inch (Btu/(s·in²)) 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 (th)/second/sq. inch translates to 5.883286 × 10¹⁰ Dyne/hour/centimeter (1 dyn/(h·cm) = 1.699731 × 10⁻¹¹ Btu/(s·in²)).

Direct Factor1 Btu/(s·in²) = 5.883286 × 10¹⁰ dyn/(h·cm)

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:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 Btu/(s·in²) = 1634246 watt per square meter (W/m²)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 dyn/(h·cm) = 2.777778 × 10⁻⁵ watt per square meter (W/m²)

Step-by-step substitution for BTU (th)/second/sq. inch → Dyne/hour/centimeter:V(dyn/(h·cm)) = V(Btu/(s·in²)) × ( 1634246 / 2.777778 × 10⁻⁵ ) = V(Btu/(s·in²)) × 5.883286 × 10¹⁰

Mathematical FormulaValue in Dyne/hour/centimeter = Value in BTU (th)/second/sq. inch × 5.8832856 × 10¹⁰Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

To convert 50 BTU (th)/second/sq. inch (Btu/(s·in²)) to Dyne/hour/centimeter (dyn/(h·cm)): multiply 50 by 5.883286 × 10¹⁰ to get 2.941643 × 10¹² dyn/(h·cm). At an industrial engineering scale, 10000 Btu/(s·in²) converts to 5.883286 × 10¹⁴ dyn/(h·cm).

Inverse check: 1 dyn/(h·cm) = 1.699731 × 10⁻¹¹ Btu/(s·in²).
