How it works
Estimate sensible heat with constant specific heat capacity and no phase change. A temperature difference in kelvin equals one in Celsius.
Q = mcΔT

Questions and answers
Why are some results rounded?
Results display up to 8 decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded values; very small values use scientific notation. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
The calculator processes inputs in your browser. Its code does not send your values to a server.
