Specific Heat Lookup

The Specific Heat Look-up utility provides the specific heat for a large number of substances.  

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Click on the pull-down menu and scroll through the alphabetical list to find the substance you wish.

Specific Heat (C): The specific heat is returned in Joules per kilogram degrees Celsius.  

Heat Calculators:

• Specific Heat from Change in Temperature
• Specific Heat from Two Temperatures
• Specific Heat Lookup Table
• Heat Energy Needed to Change Temperature
