Thermodynamics effects of work heat and energy on systems.
Informally it is the amount of energy that must be added in the form of heat to one unit of mass of the substance in order to cause an increase of one unit in its temperature the si unit of specific heat is joule per kelvin and kilogram j k kg.
This is the typical heat capacity of water.
In contrast copper has a specific heat capacity of 0 39 j.
Specific heat capacity examples.
Air specific heat at constant temperature and varying pressure figures and table showing isobaric cp and isochoric cv specific heat of air at constant temperature and.
The specific heat capacity symbol c p of a substance is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the mass of the sample.
In our example it will be equal to c 63 000 j 5 kg 3 k 4 200 j kg k.
