Heat energy and calorimetry
English search intent for this tool is calorimetry: find the heat required to warm, cool or change phase for a known mass of material.
Q is heat energy, m mass, c specific heat and Delta T temperature change.
L is latent heat for melting, freezing, vaporization or condensation.
Not a heat-transfer-rate calculator
