Convert Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin to Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius
Convert Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin (kWh/(kg·K)) to Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(g·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
cal(th)/(g·°C) = kWh/(kg·K) × 860.4206501
About Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin
The kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin (kWh/(kg·K)) equals exactly 3.6 × 10⁶ J/(kg·K). Used in large-scale thermal energy storage design - molten salt storage, geothermal reservoirs, and industrial heat banks - where energy is measured in megawatt-hours. 1 kWh/(kg·K) = 3.6 MJ/(kg·K) = 1000 Wh/(kg·K) = 3.6 × 10⁶ J/(kg·K).
About Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius
The thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(g·°C)) equals exactly 4184 J/(kg·K) (1 cal(th) = 4.184 J). The CGS unit of specific heat dominant in older US chemistry and biochemistry. Liquid water has a specific heat of almost exactly 1 cal(th)/(g·°C). Slightly smaller than the IT counterpart. 1 cal(th)/(g·°C) = 4184 J/(kg·K) = 1 kcal(th)/(kg·°C).
