Does heat eq.'s $u$ have meaning or is it just the derivatives of it that are meaningful?

Does heat eq.'s $u$ have meaning or is it just the derivatives of it that are meaningful? E.g. $du/dx$ could have units $K/m$. But what about $u$ or e.g. $du/dt$?

How do I convert $W/(mK)$, $W/m^2$ and $W/(m^2K)$ to the same "dimensionality" and unit?

How do I convert $W/(mK)$, $W/m^2$ and $W/(m^2K)$ to the same "dimensionality" and unit? $W/(mK)$ is thermal conductivity. $W/m^2$ is heat flow density related to one unit. $W/(m^2K)$ is the heat tran …
