Joule per kilogram-kelvin to kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius Conversion

1 joule per kilogram-kelvin (J/kg⋅K) is equal to 0.0002390057361 kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C).

1 J/kg⋅K = 0.0002390057361 kcal/kg⋅°C

or

1 kcal/kg⋅°C = 4184 J/kg⋅K

Formula

To convert a specific heat capacity from joule per kilogram-kelvin (J/kg⋅K) to kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C), divide the specific heat capacity in joule per kilogram-kelvin by 4184

s(kcal/kg⋅°C) = s(J/kg⋅K) / 4184

Examples:

Convert 500 joule per kilogram-kelvin to kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius:

s(kcal/kg⋅°C) = 500J/kg⋅K / 4184 = 0.1195028681 kcal/kg⋅°C
