Convert Millijoule per kilogram kelvin to Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius
Convert Millijoule per kilogram kelvin (mJ/(kg·K)) to Thermochemical calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal(th)/(g·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
cal(th)/(g·°C) = mJ/(kg·K) × 2.390057361e-7
About Millijoule per kilogram kelvin
The millijoule per kilogram kelvin (mJ/(kg·K)) equals exactly 10⁻³ J/(kg·K). Used for very light gases at extreme conditions and in precision calorimetry where tiny heat capacities must be measured. Rarely encountered in standard engineering but useful when expressing specific heat of dilute aerosols or highly rarefied media. 1 mJ/(kg·K) = 10⁻³ 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).
