Convert Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius to Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin
Convert Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius (kJ/(kg·°C)) to Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kJ/(kg·K) = kJ/(kg·°C) × 1
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 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).
