Overview

Specific heat capacity (cc) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. It is a fundamental thermodynamic property.

Key Formulas

Heat Transfer

Q=mcΔTQ = m c \Delta T

Heat required to change temperature.

Specific Heat at Constant Pressure

cp=(hT)pc_p = \left(\frac{\partial h}{\partial T}\right)_p

Enthalpy change per degree at constant pressure.

Specific Heat at Constant Volume

cv=(uT)vc_v = \left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial T}\right)_v

Internal energy change per degree at constant volume.
