Convert International table calorie per gram per degree Celsius to Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin
Convert International table calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(g·°C)) to Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin (kWh/(kg·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kWh/(kg·K) = cal(IT)/(g·°C) × 0.001163
About International table calorie per gram per degree Celsius
The international table calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(IT)/(g·°C)) equals exactly 4186.8 J/(kg·K) (1 cal(IT) = 4.1868 J). Standard in steam tables, international thermodynamic references, and pre-SI calorimetry. Slightly larger than the thermochemical variant. Water: 1 cal(IT)/(g·°C) at ≈15 °C. 1 cal(IT)/(g·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K) = 1 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C).
About Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin
The kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin (kWh/(kg·K)) equals exactly 3.6 × 10⁶ J/(kg·K). Used in large-scale thermal energy storage design - molten salt storage, geothermal reservoirs, and industrial heat banks - where energy is measured in megawatt-hours. 1 kWh/(kg·K) = 3.6 MJ/(kg·K) = 1000 Wh/(kg·K) = 3.6 × 10⁶ J/(kg·K).
