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 .
Thermotolerance is the ability of an organism to survive high temperatures. An organism's natural tolerance of heat is their basal thermotolerance . [ 1 ] Meanwhile, acquired thermotolerance is defined as an enhanced level of thermotolerance after exposure to a heat stress.
Entropy cannot be measured directly. The change in entropy with respect to pressure at a constant temperature is the same as the negative change in specific volume with respect to temperature at a constant pressure, for a simple compressible system. Maxwell relations in thermodynamics are often used to derive thermodynamic relations. [2]

The heat capacity depends on how the external variables of the system are changed when the heat is supplied. If the only external variable of the system is the volume, then we can write: d S = ( ∂ S ∂ T ) V d T + ( ∂ S ∂ V ) T d V {\displaystyle dS=\left({\frac {\partial S}{\partial T}}\right)_{V}dT+\left({\frac {\partial S}{\partial V ...
The thermic effect of food is the energy required for digestion, absorption, and disposal of ingested nutrients. Its magnitude depends on the composition of the food consumed: Carbohydrates: 5 to 15% of the energy consumed [7] Protein: 20 to 30% [7] Fats: at most 5 to 15% [8]
Shoppers could soon have to pay much higher prices for fruit and vegetables as farmers shoulder higher growing costs from the heat, a reversal of a trend seen over the past year with the cost of ...
The specific heat capacity can be defined also for materials that change state or composition as the temperature and pressure change, as long as the changes are reversible and gradual. Thus, for example, the concepts are definable for a gas or liquid that dissociates as the temperature increases, as long as the products of the dissociation ...
