To convert specific heat capacity from kilojoules per kilogram per degree Celsius (kJ/kg·°C) to British thermal units per pound per degree Fahrenheit (BTU/lb·°F), you can use the following conversion factor:

1 kJ/kg·°C ≈ 0.238846 BTU/lb·°F

Conversion Formula for kJ/kg*°C to Btu(IT) w/lb*°F:

$\text{BTU/(lbcdotp°F)}=\text{kJ/(kgcdotp°C)}\times 0.238846$

Example Calculation of kJ/kg*°C to Btu(IT)/lb*°F:

If you have a specific heat capacity of 2 kJ/kg·°C, the equivalent in BTU/lb·°F would be:

$2\times 0.238846=0.477692\text{BTU/(lbcdotp°F)}$

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.
