Specific Heat Calculator
Different materials need very different amounts of energy for the same temperature rise. Water is the outlier: it takes about ten times as much energy as copper to warm the same mass by one degree, which is why it is so useful as a coolant. The calculation is Q = mass × specific heat × temperature change.
