User Guide
This tool will calculate any parameter from the formula for the specific heat capacity of a substance c=Q/(mΔT), which includes the amount of heat transferred from or to it, its total mass, the change in temperature, and its specific heat capacity.
Formulas
The formulas used by this specific heat capacity calculator to determine each individual parameter are:
Q = m · cm · ΔT
m = Q / (cm · ΔT)
ΔT = Q / (m · cm)
cm = Q / (m · ΔT)
Symbols
- Q = Heat energy transferred
- m = Total mass
- ΔT = Temperature difference
- cm = Specific heat capacity
Pressure Loss (ΔP)
This is the total heat or thermal energy transferred to or from a substance.
Total Mass (m)
This is the total mass of the substance.
Temperature Change (ΔT)
This is the total change in temperature of the substance caused by the transfer of heat.
Specific Heat Capacity (cm)
Specific heat capacity (c, cp, cs, cm) is a measure of how much heat energy is required to be transferred to or from a solid, liquid or gas, in order to cause one unit of its mass, to change by one unit of temperature.
