Answer:If you mean how much heat it can transfer as a thermal mass - in order to move heat from one place to another:

Typically the relationships are given by specific heat capacity (at different temperatures) and latent heats, plus the end-point temperatures to determine which of these conversion factors are relevant.

If time comes into it, you are looking at including shape and thermal conductivity at the minimum, so you really would need to be more specific
