Math & Numbers
Convert specific heat capacity between J/(kg·K) (joule per kilogram-kelvin, SI base, = J/(kg·°C)), kcal/(kg·°C) (1 = 4186.8 J/(kg·K)), and BTU/(lb·°F) (1 = 4186.8 J/(kg·K)). Key identity: 1 kcal/(kg·°C) = 1 BTU/(lb·°F) — numerically equal because the energy/mass·temperature factors cancel. Converts via J/(kg·K) and lists all three equivalents. Reference values: water ≈ 4186, air cp ≈ 1005, aluminum ≈ 900, iron ≈ 450 J/(kg·K).
