User Guide: Specific Heat Capacity Converter 📚
Welcome to the **Specific Heat Capacity Converter**! This tool allows you to convert between different units of specific heat capacity such as Joules per kilogram-Kelvin (J/kg·K), Calories per gram-Kelvin (cal/g·K), and British Thermal Units per pound-Fahrenheit (BTU/lb·°F).
🔹 How to Use
- Enter the **value** in the input box.
- Select the **original unit** from the dropdown menu.
- Select the **unit to convert to** from the second dropdown.
- Click on the **Convert** button to get the result instantly.
🔹 Conversion Formula
The conversion between units is based on the following formulas:
From | To | Conversion Factor |
---|---|---|
J/kg·K | cal/g·K | 0.239 |
J/kg·K | BTU/lb·°F | 0.0002388 |
cal/g·K | J/kg·K | 4.184 |
🔹 Example Calculation
Convert **100 J/kg·K** to **cal/g·K**:
100 × 0.239 = 23.9 cal/g·K
🔹 What is Specific Heat Capacity? 🔥
