Specific Heat Calculator
Calculate heat energy transfer, mass changes, or specific heat capacity of materials.
Heat Energy: 0 J
Common Materials (J/kg·K)
Understanding Specific Heat and Heat Energy Transfer
What is Specific Heat?
Specific heat is the energy required to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1°C (or K). It's crucial in thermodynamics and material science.
Formula
Q = mc∆T where:
Q = Heat energy (J)
m = Mass (kg)
c = Specific heat capacity (J/kg·K)
∆T = Temperature change (°C or K)
Applications
Used in cooking, manufacturing, HVAC systems, and understanding climate patterns.
