Convert Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin to Thermochemical kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius
Convert Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin (kWh/(kg·K)) to Thermochemical kilocalorie per kilogram per degree Celsius (kcal(th)/(kg·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kcal(th)/(kg·°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 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).
