2. Select the “From” Unit
   • Choose the unit of the value you entered, such as:
     • J/kg·K (Joules per kilogram-Kelvin)
     • cal/g·°C (Calories per gram-Celsius)
     • BTU/lb·°F (BTU per pound-Fahrenheit)
     • kJ/kg·K (Kilojoules per kilogram-Kelvin)
3. Select the “To” Unit
   • Choose the unit you want to convert your value into.
4. Click the “Convert” Button
   • The tool will instantly display the result in a colored box.
   • You’ll also see the full conversion sentence (e.g., “4184 J/kg·K = 1 cal/g·°C”).

🧠 Bonus: Practical Advice

After converting, the tool gives you advice based on the value:

• For example:
  • Water has a high specific heat (4184 J/kg·K)
  • Metals have low specific heat (~450 J/kg·K)
  • Air and oils fall in between

This helps users understand the practical application of the value.
