Specific Heat API
Calorimetry (specific-heat) maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The heat endpoint applies the sensible-heat equation Q = m·c·ΔT — the heat energy equals the mass times the specific heat times the temperature change — and solves for whichever of the four quantities you leave out, taking the temperature change directly or as the difference of an initial and final temperature, and the specific heat directly or from a built-in material (water, ice, aluminium, copper, steel, glass, ethanol and more); it reports the heat in joules, kilojoules, calories, kilocalories and watt-hours. The mix endpoint finds the equilibrium temperature when two bodies at different temperatures are brought into thermal contact, Tf = (m1·c1·T1 + m2·c2·T2) / (m1·c1 + m2·c2), with the heat transferred, for the same or different materials. The materials endpoint lists typical specific heats. Use SI units — mass in kilograms, specific heat in joules per kilogram-kelvin, temperatures in °C or K (the difference is the same). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for physics and chemistry education, thermal-engineering and HVAC tools, cooking and brewing apps, and material-science calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is calorimetry; for the ideal gas law use a gas-law API.
