Copper Specific HeatWarming a lump of copper via convection. The heat-transfer modeling is rather simplistic...
But the main feature here -- namely, the temperature-dependent heat capacity -- is still thereby revealed. Note the cv~T3-behavior for low temperatures, accurately predicted in the Debye model (for high-T, this correctly turns over to an approach to a constant). Note also the relatively small contribution from the conduction electrons (well approximated by a gas of degenerate fermions):
