    This document provides specific heat values for various common substances in units of kJ/(kg K), Btu/(lb °F), and kcal/kg °C. Specific heat is a measure of the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree and varies between substances. The document also provides conversion factors between units and formulas for calculating the heat required to change a substance's temperature based on its specific heat, mass, and temperature change.

    Heating Energy
    The energy required to heat a product can be calculated as
    q = cp  m dt                                                                                          (1)
    where
    q = heat required (kJ)
    cp  = specific heat (kJ/kg K, kJ/kg  oC)
    dt = temperature difference (K,  oC)
