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 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).
