Specific Heat Capacity Converter Tutorial

This guide helps you easily convert between various specific heat capacity units used in thermal engineering and material science. Whether you're working with joules per kilogram-Kelvin (J/kg·K), kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin (kJ/kg·K), or BTU per pound-Fahrenheit (BTU/lb·°F), this tutorial provides the formulas and examples you need to make accurate conversions.

Kilojoule per kilogram-Kelvin to Joule per kilogram-Kelvin (kJ/kg·K to J/kg·K)

Formula: J/kg·K = kJ/kg·K * 1,000

Example: Convert 0.5 kJ/kg·K to J/kg·K.

Solution: 0.5 kJ/kg·K * 1,000 = 500 J/kg·K

BTU per pound-Fahrenheit to Joule per kilogram-Kelvin (BTU/lb·°F to J/kg·K)

Formula: J/kg·K = BTU/lb·°F * 4184

Example: Convert 0.5 BTU/lb·°F to J/kg·K.

Solution: 0.5 BTU/lb·°F * 4184 = 2092 J/kg·K
