Kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius to kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin Conversion
1 kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C) is equal to 4.184 kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/kg⋅K).
1 kcal/kg⋅°C = 4.184 kJ/kg⋅K
or
1 kJ/kg⋅K = 0.2390057361 kcal/kg⋅°C
Formula
To convert a specific heat capacity from kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius (kcal/kg⋅°C) to kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/kg⋅K), multiply the specific heat capacity in kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius by 4.184
s(kJ/kg⋅K) = s(kcal/kg⋅°C) × 4.184
Examples:
Convert 500 kilocalorie per kilogram-degree Celsius to kilojoule per kilogram-kelvin:
s(kJ/kg⋅K) = 500kcal/kg⋅°C × 4.184 = 2092 kJ/kg⋅K
