About Watt-hour per kilogram kelvin
The watt-hour per kilogram kelvin (Wh/(kg·K)) equals exactly 3600 J/(kg·K). Used in battery and thermal energy storage engineering to express the heat capacity of phase-change materials (PCM), molten salts, and battery cells where energy is quantified in watt-hours. Paraffin wax ≈0.055 Wh/(kg·K). 1 Wh/(kg·K) = 3600 J/(kg·K) = 3.6 kJ/(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).
