About International table kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius
The international table kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal(IT)/(kg·°C)) equals exactly 4186.8 J/(kg·K) (1 kcal(IT) = 4186.8 J). The common practical unit in European industry and the 'large calorie' of nutrition science. Water: 1 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C); ethanol: 0.588 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C). 1 kcal(IT)/(kg·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K) = 1 cal(IT)/(g·°C).
About Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin
The kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)) equals exactly 1000 J/(kg·K). The most common unit in engineering thermodynamics textbooks and technical data sheets: water ≈4.182, steam ≈2.08, dry air ≈1.005 kJ/(kg·K). Found throughout ASHRAE, ISO, and EN standards for heat exchanger and HVAC design. 1 kJ/(kg·K) = 1000 J/(kg·K) = 1 kJ/(kg·°C).
