Amount of heat required to change the temperature of one unit of amount of matter under a constant pressure by one unit of temperature:
c_P = \frac{C_P}{\nu}= \left( \frac{\delta Q}{\nu \cdot \delta T} \right)_p |
Symbol | Dimension | SI units | Oil metric units | Oil field units |
---|---|---|---|---|
c_P | M L2 T−2 Θ−1 | J/(mol⋅K) | J/(mol⋅K) |
It is a material property and properly tabulated for the vast majority of materials.
