Human Body and Specific Heat

Specific heat of the human body - compared to substances like protein and wood

Sponsored Links

THe specific heat of the human body compared to protein and wood:

Substance	Specific Heat - c_p- (J/(kg ^oC))
Human Body (average)	3470
Protein	1700
Wood	1700

1 J/(kg ^oC) = 2.389x10^-4 kcal/(kg ^oC) = 2.389x10^-4 Btu/(lb_m ^oF)

Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. Specific heat of water is 4187 J/kg oC (1 Btu/lb_m ^oF).
