User Guide
Use this calculator to determine the heat transferred to or from a substance Q=CΔT in joules(J), kilojoules (kJ), british thermal units (Btu ISO), calories (cal) or kilocalories (kcal) units, from the heat capacity of the substance and the resulting change in temperature.
Formula
The formula used by this calculator to determine the heat transferred from the heat capacity and change in temperature is:
Q = C · ΔT
Symbols
- C = Heat capacity
- ΔT = Temperature change
- Q = Heat transferred
Heat Capacity (C)
This is the amount of thermal energy required to raise a substance or material by one unit of temperature.
Temperature Change (ΔT)
This is the total change in temperature caused by the transfer of heat.
Heat Transferred (Q)
This is the total heat or thermal energy transferred.
