How to convert kilojoules per kilogram kelvin to joules per kilogram kelvin
Use the same thermodynamic convention before comparing values: constant-pressure and constant-volume heat capacities can differ. Temperature factors here are intervals, without offsets.
Use x for the value in kJ/(kg·K), b for the intermediate value in J/(kg·K), and y for the result in J/(kg·K).
J/(kg·K) = kJ/(kg·K) × 1000
Worked examples
10 kJ/(kg·K) ≈ 10000 J/(kg·K)
Step 1: (10 × 1000) ≈ 10000 J/(kg·K).
Step 2: 10000 ÷ 1 ≈ 10000 J/(kg·K).20 kJ/(kg·K) ≈ 20000 J/(kg·K)
Step 1: (20 × 1000) ≈ 20000 J/(kg·K).
Step 2: 20000 ÷ 1 ≈ 20000 J/(kg·K).
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Kilojoules per kilogram kelvin
Kilojoules per kilogram kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)) measures specific heat capacity under the conventions above. The base value in J/(kg·K) is (x × 1000), where x is the numerical value in kJ/(kg·K). Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Joules per kilogram kelvin
Joules per kilogram kelvin (J/(kg·K)) measures specific heat capacity under the conventions above. The base value in J/(kg·K) is (x × 1), where x is the numerical value in J/(kg·K). Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
