Why is kilojoule per kilogram per degree Celsius numerically equal to kilojoule per kilogram per kelvin?

Because the size of one degree Celsius and one kelvin are the same increment, specific heat capacity values have identical numeric values for both units.

What does kilogram-force meter per kilogram per kelvin represent?

It is a specific heat capacity unit expressing the energy required (in kilogram-force meter) to raise the temperature of one kilogram of substance by one kelvin, using a non-SI gravitational force-based unit.

In which fields is this unit conversion commonly applied?

This conversion is commonly used in mechanical engineering, HVAC system design, chemical process industries, materials science, and when working with historical thermal data.
