Convert Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius to Watt-hour per kilogram kelvin
Convert Kilojoule per kilogram degree Celsius (kJ/(kg·°C)) to Watt-hour per kilogram kelvin (Wh/(kg·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
Wh/(kg·K) = kJ/(kg·°C) × 0.2777777778
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 Watt-hour per kilogram kelvin
The watt-hour per kilogram kelvin (Wh/(kg·K)) equals exactly 3600 J/(kg·K). Used in battery and thermal energy storage engineering to express the heat capacity of phase-change materials (PCM), molten salts, and battery cells where energy is quantified in watt-hours. Paraffin wax ≈0.055 Wh/(kg·K). 1 Wh/(kg·K) = 3600 J/(kg·K) = 3.6 kJ/(kg·K).
