2.778Wh/K

That's 1.41× as much heat capacity as a full kettle, while a person is 25× more. Warming it by 10 °C takes about 0.02778 kWh.

What it means

How much heat does it hold?

Examples are water-filled unless stated: water takes 4,184 J to warm a kilogram by one degree. A person is taken as 70 kg.

The math

How to convert kJ/K to Wh/K

To convert kilojoules per kelvin to watt-hours per kelvin, multiply by 0.277778.

Example: 10 kJ/K × 0.277778 = 2.77778 Wh/K.

In the other direction, 1 Wh/K = 3.6 kJ/K.
