Convert Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin to Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin
Convert Kilowatt-hour per kilogram kelvin (kWh/(kg·K)) to Kilojoule per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kJ/(kg·K) = kWh/(kg·K) × 3600
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 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).
