The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]
Specific heat capacity often varies with temperature, and is different for each state of matter. Liquid water has one of the highest specific heat capacities among common substances, about 4184 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1 at 20 °C; but that of ice, just below 0 °C, is only 2093 J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1.
Small granite pillars have failed under loads that averaged out to about 1.43 ⋅ 10 8 Newtons/meter 2 and this kind of rock has a sonic speed of about 5.6 ± 0.3 ⋅ 10 3 m/sec (stp), a density of about 2.7 g/cm 3 and specific heat ranging from about 0.2 to 0.3 cal/g °C through the temperature interval 100-1000 °C [Stowe pages 41 & 59 and ...
In heat transfer analysis, thermal diffusivity is the thermal conductivity divided by density and specific heat capacity at constant pressure. [1] It is a measure of the rate of heat transfer inside a material and has SI units of m 2 /s. It is an intensive property.

C p is therefore the slope of a plot of temperature vs. isobaric heat content (or the derivative of a temperature/heat content equation). The SI units for heat capacity are J/(mol·K). Molar heat content of four substances in their designated states above 298.15 K and at 1 atm pressure. CaO(c) and Rh(c) are in their normal standard state of ...
This extra heat amounts to about 40% more than the previous amount added. In this example, the amount of heat added with a locked piston is proportional to C V, whereas the total amount of heat added is proportional to C P. Therefore, the heat capacity ratio in this example is 1.4.
