Why convert from CHU/pound/°C to Joule/kilogram/°C?

Conversion facilitates standardizing specific heat capacity data from imperial units to widely used SI units for compatibility in calculations.

Is the temperature increment difference between Celsius and Kelvin important here?

No, since temperature increments in Celsius and Kelvin are equal, the conversion assumes them interchangeable for specific heat capacity.

What industries commonly use this unit conversion?

The conversion is common in HVAC design, thermal engineering, material science, industrial food processing, and energy storage systems.
