What does joule/kilogram/°C represent?

It is the SI-derived unit of specific heat capacity representing heat energy needed to raise one kilogram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Why convert J/(kg·°C) to Btu (th)/pound/°F?

Conversion enables accurate heat calculations in systems using both metric and imperial units, common in HVAC and thermodynamic applications.

Does the conversion factor change for different types of Btu?

This tool uses the standard thermochemical Btu; other Btu definitions may differ slightly and affect conversion accuracy.
