W/m.°C to W/m².°C its possible?

[OShakal]

Hello, a thermal paste for CPU has Thermal Condutivity: 9.24 W/m.°C and another one has 200W/m2.°C . So i cant see which one is better in Thermal Condutivity. Can you do this to me please?

Thank you very much.

PS: Sorry bad english its not my mother language.

W/m ºC is thermal conductivity.

W/m² ºC is heat transfer coefficient.

Though I have no idea how you would convert between the two, thermal conductivity is short one dimension compared to heat transfer coefficient.

This is an old post so the original poster I'm sure won't be helped, but I was trying to figure out that conversion... here is what it comes down to if anyone else asks

conductivity: W/m.c is for a material sample of 1m depth and 1m squared area. conductance: W/m2.C is for an unspecified depth, or rather a depth you must give. the conductance, which is alway <1 is multiplied by the depth to give the conductivity, thus canceling out the units m/m2 give m... I was able to figure this out from this helpful wikipedia page: ...wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity...
