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.
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
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
