How to convert Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Kelvin to Joule/Kilogram/Celsius (kcal/kg·K to J/kg·°C)
To convert Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Kelvin to Joule/Kilogram/Celsius, multiply by 4186.8. The formula is Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Kelvin × 4186.8 = Joule/Kilogram/Celsius. See the example below.
Kilocalorie per kilogram per kelvin is a unit of measurement for specific heat capacity. A material is known to have heat capacity of 1 kcal/kg·K if heat energy of one kilocalorie is required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of that material by one kelvin. The symbol for Kilocalorie/Kilogram/Kelvin is kcal/kg·K.
Joule per kilogram per degree Celsius is a unit of measurement for specific heat capacity. A material is known to have heat capacity of 1 J/kg·°C if heat energy of one joule is required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of that material by one degree Celsius. The symbol for Joule/Kilogram/Celsius is J/kg·°C.
