Reactive power supplies resistive drops in the rotor. Run capacitors on big induction motors supply less than a percent of total power to maintain 90 degrees out-of-phase currents in rotor windings.
Aluminum specific heat is 910 J / Kg-K according to engineeringtoolbox.com (at what temperature???)
According to this, specific heat increases from about 900 J/Kg-K at 298 C to 1300 J/Kg-K . The slope steepens near 300 K.
