To convert specific heat capacity from kilojoules per kilogram per Kelvin (kJ/kg·K) to British thermal units per pound per degree Fahrenheit (BTU/lb·°F), you can use the following conversion factor:
Heat Capacity Converter (kJ/kg·K)
kJ/kg·K to BTU/lb·°F
BTU/lb·°F to kJ/kg·K
1 kJ/(kg·K) ≈ 0.238846 BTU/(lb·°F)
Conversion Formula:
BTU/(lb\cdotp°F)=kJ/(kg\cdotpK)×0.238846\text{BTU/(lb·°F)} = \text{kJ/(kg·K)} \times 0.238846BTU/(lb\cdotp°F)=kJ/(kg\cdotpK)×0.238846
Example Calculation of Kj/Kg K to Btu/Lb F
If you have a specific heat capacity of 2 kJ/(kg·K), the equivalent in BTU/(lb·°F) would be:
2×0.238846=0.477692 BTU/(lb\cdotp°F)2 \times 0.238846 = 0.477692 \, \text{BTU/(lb·°F)}2×0.238846=0.477692BTU/(lb\cdotp°F)
This conversion is essential in fields like thermodynamics and engineering, where different unit systems are used.
Note: For precise conversions, especially in scientific calculations, it’s important to consider the specific context and use accurate conversion factors.
This tool allows you to input your value in kJ/(kg·K) and obtain the corresponding value in BTU/(lb·°F) instantly.
Understanding these conversions ensures accurate data interpretation and application in various scientific and engineering contexts.
