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]
Defined as 1 ⁄ 100 of the amount of energy required to warm one gram of air-free water from 0 to 100 °C at standard atmospheric pressure. [b] International Steam Table calorie (1929) ≈ 4.1868 J ≈ 0.003 9683 BTU ≈ 1.1630 × 10 −6 kW⋅h ≈ 2.6132 × 10 19 eV Defined as 1 ⁄ 860 "international" watt hours = 180 ⁄ 43 "international ...
The "grand calorie" (also "kilocalorie", "kilogram-calorie", or "food calorie"; "kcal" or "Cal") is 1000 cal, that is, exactly 4184 J. It was originally defined so that the heat capacity of 1 kg of water would be 1 kcal/°C. With these units of heat energy, the units of heat capacity are 1 cal/°C = 4.184 J/K ; 1 kcal/°C = 4184 J/K.

[1] For a fuel of composition C c H h O o N n , the (higher) heat of combustion is 419 kJ/mol × ( c + 0.3 h − 0.5 o ) usually to a good approximation (±3%), [ 2 ] [ 3 ] though it gives poor results for some compounds such as (gaseous) formaldehyde and carbon monoxide , and can be significantly off if o + n > c , such as for glycerine ...
Other units still in use worldwide in some contexts are the kilocalorie per gram (Cal/g or kcal/g), mostly in food-related topics, and watt-hours per kilogram (W⋅h/kg) in the field of batteries. In some countries the Imperial unit BTU per pound (Btu/lb) is used in some engineering and applied technical fields. [1]
All values refer to 25 °C and to the thermodynamically stable standard state at that temperature unless noted. Values from CRC refer to "100 kPa (1 bar or 0.987 standard atmospheres)".
