Specific Heat of Brass Alloys - Table of Values

In summary, specific heat is the amount of heat energy needed to raise a substance's temperature by one degree Celsius or one Kelvin. The specific heat of brass alloys can vary but is generally around 0.38 J/g·K. Factors such as composition, temperature, and pressure can affect the specific heat, as well as impurities and crystal structure. It is important to know the specific heat of brass alloys for industrial applications and understanding their thermal properties. Tables of values can be found in scientific databases and reference books, as well as online and through specific heat equations.

Hey all. I was wondering if anyone knows where I might find the specific heat of brass; I've googled and wikied with no success.

Ah, whoa, hang on. It occurs to me that there might not be a standard "brass" alloy... bummer, confirmed by wiki.

To rephrase the question then: Does anyone know where I might find a table of various specific heats of different brasses?

Thanks!
