    ideal gas. equation gives finally: where n = number of moles of gas in the thermodynamic system under consideration and R = universal gas constant. On a per mole basis, the expression for difference in molar heat capacities becomes simply R for ideal gases as follows: , m {\displaystyle C_ {P,m}-C_ {V,m}= {\frac {C_ {P}-C_ {V}} {n}}= {\frac {nR ...

  3. Heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity

    Thermodynamics. Heat capacity or thermal capacity is a physical property of matter, defined as the amount of heat to be supplied to an object to produce a unit change in its temperature. [1] The SI unit of heat capacity is joule per kelvin (J/K). Heat capacity is an extensive property.

  4. Volumetric heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_heat_capacity

    The volumetric heat capacity of a material is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the volume of the sample. It is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of volume of the material in order to cause an increase of one unit in its temperature. The SI unit of volumetric heat capacity is joule ...

  5. Molar heat capacity - Wikipedia

    Then the molar heat capacity (at constant volume) would be c V,m = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ fR. where R is the ideal gas constant. According to Mayer's relation, the molar heat capacity at constant pressure would be c P,m = c V,m + R = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ fR + R = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ (f + 2)R

  6. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    1.365. In thermal physics and thermodynamics, the heat capacity ratio, also known as the adiabatic index, the ratio of specific heats, or Laplace's coefficient, is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure (CP) to heat capacity at constant volume (CV). It is sometimes also known as the isentropic expansion factor and is denoted by γ ...

    is pressure, temperature, volume, entropy, coefficient of thermal expansion, compressibility, heat capacity at constant volume, heat capacity at constant pressure. Maxwell's relations are a set of equations in thermodynamics which are derivable from the symmetry of second derivatives and from the definitions of the thermodynamic potentials .

  8. Equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state

    Equation of state. In physics and chemistry, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation relating state variables, which describe the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions, such as pressure, volume, temperature, or internal energy. [1] Most modern equations of state are formulated in the Helmholtz free energy.

  9. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    Heat equation. Animated plot of the evolution of the temperature in a square metal plate as predicted by the heat equation. The height and redness indicate the temperature at each point. The initial state has a uniformly hot hoof-shaped region (red) surrounded by uniformly cold region (yellow). As time passes the heat diffuses into the cold region.
