kilowatt per square meter kelvin
Heat transfer coefficientexact by definition
The kilowatt per square metre kelvin is a thousand watts per square metre kelvin, used for the high coefficients found in boiling, condensing and liquid-side heat exchange, where SI values run into the thousands. Condensing steam at 10 kW/(m²·K) is easier to read than 10 000 W/(m²·K). The factor of 1000 is exact, being a decimal prefix.
