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 (W)) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)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 (ksource):1 kcal (th)/h = 1.162222 watt (W)
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 cW = 0.01 watt (W)
Step-by-step substitution for Kilocalorie (th)/hour → Centiwatt:V(cW) = V(kcal (th)/h) × ( 1.162222 / 0.01 ) = V(kcal (th)/h) × 116.222222
Mathematical FormulaValue in Centiwatt = Value in Kilocalorie (th)/hour × 116.22222222Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.
Worked Example

Converting 75 kcal (th)/h yields an exact output of 8716.666667 cW in Centiwatt. Under higher industrial throughput, 5000 kcal (th)/h translates to 581111.111111 cW.

Inverse check: 1 cW = 0.00860421 kcal (th)/h.
