Amount of heat to be supplied to a given amount of a material under a constant pressure to produce a unit change in its temperature:
| C_p = \left( \frac{\delta Q}{\delta T} \right)_p |
Isobaric Heat Capacity C_p is proportional to the amount of the matter involved in a Heat Transfer process and as such is not a material property.
One can relate it to material properties through the known material mass m or a material volume V:
| |||
|---|---|---|---|
c_{mp} | Isobaric specific heat capacity | ||
c_{vp} | Isobaric volumetric heat capacity | ||
