How it works
Convert specific heat capacity by multiplying the input by its source-unit factor and dividing by its destination-unit factor. Base unit: J/(kg·K).
Input definitions
- Amount
- Enter the value in the labeled unit.
- From unit
- Choose J/(kg·K) / kJ/(kg·K) / J/(g·K) / cal/(g·K).
- To unit
- Choose J/(kg·K) / kJ/(kg·K) / J/(g·K) / cal/(g·K).
A worked example
- Amount
- 1
- From unit
- cal/(g·K)
- To unit
- J/(kg·K)
Assumptions & limits
Uses the thermochemical calorie: 4.184 J. Temperature intervals of one kelvin and one degree Celsius have the same size. Results use up to 12 significant digits, with scientific notation for small values; values are processed locally.
