Amount of heat required to change the temperature of one unit of volume by one unit of temperature:
(?) | c_{vV} = \left( \frac{\delta Q}{\delta V \cdot \delta T} \right)_V |
Symbol | Dimension | SI units | Oil metric units | Oil field units |
---|---|---|---|---|
c_{vV} | M L-1 T−2 Θ−1 | J/(m3⋅K) | J/(m3⋅K) |
It is a material property and properly tabulated for the vast majority of materials.
