Thermal Energy Formula

Formula

Q = m × c × ΔT

Where:

  • • Q = thermal energy (J)
  • • m = mass (kg)
  • • c = specific heat capacity (J/kg·K)
  • • ΔT = temperature change (K or °C)

Common Specific Heat Values

  • • Water: 4184 J/kg·K
  • • Aluminum: 900 J/kg·K
  • • Iron: 449 J/kg·K
  • • Copper: 385 J/kg·K
  • • Lead: 130 J/kg·K
