Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius. It is measured in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg·°C) and is crucial in thermal management, engineering, and materials science.
Example Conversions:
- 1 kilojoule per kilogram per kelvin (kJ/kg·K) = 1000 J/kg·K
- 1 calorie per gram per degree Celsius (cal/g·°C) ≈ 4.184 J/g·°C
- 1 joule per gram per kelvin (J/g·K) = 1000 J/kg·K
