Kraevitch showed that this dependence is determined by the properties of a substance, such as its density, specific heat, and latent heat of evaporation.
But I do not yet clearly see in what respect latent heat differs from specific heat; for they are both of them imprisoned and concealed in bodies.
But there is another mode of proving the existence of specific heat, which affords a very satisfactory illustration of that modification.
The interpretation of these experiments is as follows: Amorphous selenium retains a very large amount of specific heat, which renders it a non-conductor of electricity: when heated to 80 deg.
Where specific heat is stated alone, specific heat at ordinary temperature is implied, and mean specific heat refers to the average value of this quantity between the temperatures named.
Specific Heat--The specific heat of a substance is the quantity of heat expressed in thermal units required to raise or lower the temperature of a unit weight of any substance at a given temperature one degree.
Effect of Dissociation, and Increase of Specific Heat.
Chatelier and others that the apparent specific heat of the products of combustion in a gas-engine may be taken as approximately .
Increase of specific heat is a necessary accompaniment of dissociation, and from some points of view may be regarded as merely another way of stating the facts.
The specific heat of a substance is sometimes defined as the thermal capacity of unit mass, but more often as the ratio of the thermal capacity of unit mass of the substance to that of unit mass of water at some standard temperature.
The result was to reduce the coefficient of diminution of specific heat at 15 deg.
Joly has himself determined the mean specific heat of water between 12 deg.
The specific heat therefore of water is taken as one.
Specific heat as distinguished from specific gravity is concerned with the capacity for heat possessed by different substances.
In regard to the movements of heat, we owe the laws of conduction and of radiation chiefly to France and Geneva, while the laws of specific heat, and those of latent heat, were discovered in Scotland.
The above list will hopefully provide you with a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "specific heat" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this group of words.
