Summer is a great time to visit Sedona because the weather is warm but not nearly as hot as the infamous triple-digit days typical for Phoenix, Scottsdale and the rest of the Valley of the Sun. In fact, summer is the season for Valley residents to escape to Sedona and find relief in the 90-degree weather!
Based on the Aly and Lee model, the variation of the ideal gas heat capacity at constant pressure of several hydrocarbons (methane through pentanes) and non-hydrocarbons (O2, N2, H2, CO2 and H2O) as a function of temperature are presented in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
Staff: Mentor. The specific heat capacity of blood is similar to water, about 4J/(gK). In fact, treating the whole body as a big blob of water is a good approximation - with 80kg, this corresponds to about 320kJ/K. The human body is roughly at constant pressure, but that is not relevant here.
