DeltaT is numerically identical for Celsius and Kelvin intervals.
Specific heat capacity
840.0000 J/(kg·K)
Temperature change
60.0000 °C
Energy input
100800.000 J
Mass
2.000 kg
Interpretation
Estimated specific heat capacity is 840.0000 J/(kg·K) from provided heat-transfer data.
Formula:
Q = m × c × DeltaT
Formula
c = Q / (m DeltaT)
Temperature interval
DeltaC = DeltaK
Output unit
J/(kg·K)
m = 2 kg, Q = 100800 J, from 20° to 80°
Specific heat
840.00 J/(kg·K)
DeltaT
60.00 °C
The calculator applies the calorimetry equation linking heat transfer to mass, specific heat, and temperature change. Rearranging gives specific heat directly from measured experiment or process data.
Q = m × c × DeltaTc = Q / (m × DeltaT)This model assumes no phase change and approximately constant specific heat over the temperature interval.
