Beam heat

So we've seen energy beams being able to vaporize large objects in a single flash rather than pulverize. How do we calc the heat?
 
Depends on the boiling point of said objects.
 
Bare minimum boiling point is 2900 degrees C. Timeframe plays no factor with regards to heat change.
I mean, it still would take time for steel to turn to gas even at 2900°C just like ice into water or water into gas. They take a long *** time to actually transition to the other state of matter. So if one suddenly could do it in a flash, the beam would be significantly higher than just baseline 2900°C.
