Convert Millijoule per kilogram kelvin to Celsius Heat Unit per pound per degree Celsius
Convert Millijoule per kilogram kelvin (mJ/(kg·K)) to Celsius Heat Unit per pound per degree Celsius (CHU/(lb·°C)) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
CHU/(lb·°C) = mJ/(kg·K) × 2.388458966e-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 Celsius Heat Unit per pound per degree Celsius
The Celsius heat unit per pound per degree Celsius (CHU/(lb·°C)) equals exactly (1055.05585262 × 9)/(0.45359237 × 5) J/(kg·K) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K). The CHU is 9/5 BTU(IT); combined with a 1 °C instead of 1 °F interval the factor is the same as BTU(IT)/(lb·°F). Used in older UK and Canadian engineering practice. Water: 1 CHU/(lb·°C). 1 CHU/(lb·°C) = 4186.8 J/(kg·K).
