About Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius
The kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius (kJ/(kg·°C)) equals exactly 1 kJ/(kg·K) = 1000 J/(kg·K) since 1 °C = 1 K. The preferred notation in European process and chemical engineering where Celsius dominates. Often used interchangeably with kJ/(kg·K) in material datasheets. Water: 4.182 kJ/(kg·°C). 1 kJ/(kg·°C) = 1 kJ/(kg·K) = 1000 J/(kg·K).
About Thermochemical kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius
The thermochemical kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal(th)/(kg·°C)) equals exactly 4184 J/(kg·K) (1 kcal(th) = 4184 J = 1000 cal(th)). Used in older continental European and Soviet-era engineering tables as the practical metric unit. Water ≈1 kcal(th)/(kg·°C); iron ≈0.107 kcal(th)/(kg·°C). 1 kcal(th)/(kg·°C) = 4184 J/(kg·K) = 1 cal(th)/(g·°C).
