The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]
The classical equipartition theorem predicts that the heat capacity ratio (γ) for an ideal gas can be related to the thermally accessible degrees of freedom (f) of a molecule by = +, =. Thus we observe that for a monatomic gas, with 3 translational degrees of freedom per atom: γ = 5 3 = 1.6666 … , {\displaystyle \gamma ={\frac {5}{3}}=1. ...

The term specific heat may also refer to the ratio between the specific heat capacities of a substance at a given temperature and of a reference substance at a reference temperature, such as water at 15 °C; [5] much in the fashion of specific gravity. Specific heat capacity is also related to other intensive measures of heat capacity with ...
Small granite pillars have failed under loads that averaged out to about 1.43 ⋅ 10 8 Newtons/meter 2 and this kind of rock has a sonic speed of about 5.6 ± 0.3 ⋅ 10 3 m/sec (stp), a density of about 2.7 g/cm 3 and specific heat ranging from about 0.2 to 0.3 cal/g °C through the temperature interval 100-1000 °C [Stowe pages 41 & 59 and ...
All values refer to 25 °C and to the thermodynamically stable standard state at that temperature unless noted. Values from CRC refer to "100 kPa (1 bar or 0.987 standard atmospheres)".
For air with a heat capacity ratio =, then =; other gases have in the range 1.09 (e.g. butane) to 1.67 (monatomic gases), so the critical pressure ratio varies in the range < / <, which means that, depending on the gas, choked flow usually occurs when the downstream static pressure drops to below 0.487 to 0.587 times the absolute pressure in ...
Together, ρc p can be considered the volumetric heat capacity (J/(m 3 ·K)). As seen in the heat equation , [ 5 ] ∂ T ∂ t = α ∇ 2 T , {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial T}{\partial t}}=\alpha \nabla ^{2}T,} one way to view thermal diffusivity is as the ratio of the time derivative of temperature to its curvature , quantifying the rate at ...
