Specific Heat Data

Specific Heat Definitions

• Specific heat (C): The amount of heat required to change the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree.
• Isobaric specific heat (Cₚ): Used for substances in a constant pressure (ΔP = 0) system.
• Isochoric specific heat (Cᵥ): Used for substances in a constant-volume (isovolumetric or isometric) closed system.
• Note: Specific heat values vary with temperature. For accurate calculations in heated or cooled systems, correct the specific heat using temperature-dependent values such as those provided in the table.
