3. Detailed Mathematical Formulas

Understanding the formulas used for conversion is essential for ensuring accuracy. The tool includes detailed explanations of the formulas employed, allowing users to verify results and understand the underlying calculations. Below are the key formulas for the Specific Heat Capacity Converter:

• Joules per Gram per Degree Celsius (J/g·°C) to Joules per Kilogram per Kelvin (J/kg·K): J/kg·K = J/g·°C × 1000

  Example Calculation: If the specific heat capacity is 4.18 J/g·°C:

  J/kg·K = 4.18 × 1000 = 4180 J/kg·K
• Joules per Kilogram per Kelvin (J/kg·K) to Joules per Gram per Degree Celsius (J/g·°C): J/g·°C = J/kg·K × 0.001

  Example Calculation: If the specific heat capacity is 5000 J/kg·K:

  J/g·°C = 5000 × 0.001 = 5 J/g·°C
• Calories per Gram per Degree Celsius (cal/g·°C) to Joules per Gram per Degree Celsius (J/g·°C): J/g·°C = cal/g·°C × 4.184

  Example Calculation: If the specific heat capacity is 1 cal/g·°C:

  J/g·°C = 1 × 4.184 = 4.184 J/g·°C
• Joules per Gram per Degree Celsius (J/g·°C) to Calories per Gram per Degree Celsius (cal/g·°C): cal/g·°C = J/g·°C × 0.239

  Example Calculation: If the specific heat capacity is 2 J/g·°C:

  cal/g·°C = 2 × 0.239 = 0.478 cal/g·°C
• British Thermal Units per Pound per Degree Fahrenheit (BTU/lb·°F) to Joules per Kilogram per Kelvin (J/kg·K): J/kg·K = BTU/lb·°F × 4184.0

  Example Calculation: If the specific heat capacity is 0.5 BTU/lb·°F:

  J/kg·K = 0.5 × 4184.0 = 2092 J/kg·K
