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 Millijoule per kilogram kelvin
The millijoule per kilogram kelvin (mJ/(kg·K)) equals exactly 10⁻³ J/(kg·K). Used for very light gases at extreme conditions and in precision calorimetry where tiny heat capacities must be measured. Rarely encountered in standard engineering but useful when expressing specific heat of dilute aerosols or highly rarefied media. 1 mJ/(kg·K) = 10⁻³ J/(kg·K).
