What does kilojoule/kilogram/K measure?

It measures specific heat capacity, representing the thermal energy needed to raise one kilogram of a substance by one kelvin.

Why convert from kilojoule/kilogram/K to Btu (IT)/pound/°C?

To switch between SI and imperial units, especially for HVAC, engineering, and industrial calculations where imperial units are common.

Are the temperature scales interchangeable in this conversion?

Kelvin and Celsius differences are interchangeable for temperature changes, but clarity is important in unit usage.
