What does CHU/pound/°C represent?

It is a specific heat capacity unit expressing the heat energy in CHU needed to raise one pound of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert CHU/(lb*°C) to kJ/kg/K?

Converting allows translation from imperial heat capacity units to SI units, supporting standardized calculations in scientific and engineering fields.

Are temperature increments in °C and K interchangeable for these conversions?

Yes, differences in degree Celsius and kelvin increments are equivalent when measuring temperature changes.
