Full API documentation

Explanation

Formula: Kilojoules per kilogram-kelvin = Joules per gram-degree Celsius × 1. Why: one degree Celsius and one kelvin are equal as temperature intervals, so this route only changes the energy and mass basis after reducing both units to the same thermal-capacity reference.

Joules per gram-degree Celsius (J/(g·°C)): a metric specific heat capacity unit that uses grams and Celsius intervals, common in chemistry and smaller-scale thermal data.

Kilojoules per kilogram-kelvin (kJ/(kg·K)): the same kilogram-kelvin heat-capacity basis scaled to kilojoules, often used in engineering and materials tables.

This route is useful when switching between kilogram-based and gram-based thermal property reporting in laboratory, chemistry, and materials documentation.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through one joules-per-kilogram-kelvin basis, and temperature intervals are handled as fixed scale relationships with no offset term.
