Hi,

I have a question about the unit of film coefficient, which is mlW/(mm2*C). Could you please help that ml stands for e-3? By considering Kelvin in the value (9.285913e+02 W/m^2-K), should I simply multiply the value by e-3 or does it stand for another dimension?

 

Thanks.

Ali

    Hi Mo,

    Yes, in this case it is miliWatts. So you need to multitply by 1000 to get 1W=1000mlW.

    Kind regards
