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 meter kelvin (W/(m·K))) 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 kW/(m·K) = 1000 watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K))

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 kcal (th)/(h·m·°C) = 1.162222 watt per meter kelvin (W/(m·K))

Step-by-step substitution for Kilowatt/meter/kelvin → Kilocalorie (th)/hour/meter/°C:V(kcal (th)/(h·m·°C)) = V(kW/(m·K)) × ( 1000 / 1.162222 ) = V(kW/(m·K)) × 860.420815

Mathematical FormulaValue in Kilocalorie (th)/hour/meter/°C = Value in Kilowatt/meter/kelvin × 860.42081461Direct computational formula applied for standard conversion.

Worked Example

For an engineering input of 36 kW/(m·K), applying the conversion factor yields exactly 30975.149326 kcal (th)/(h·m·°C). At larger operational scale, 10000 Kilowatt/meter/kelvin corresponds to 8604208.14612 kcal (th)/(h·m·°C).
