LATHE CUTTING TOOLS - Practice Mode

Explanation:

The specific heat of a substance my be broadly defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of its unit mass through 1 degree. All the liquids and solids have one specific heat only. But a gas can have any number of specific heats depending upon the conditions, under which it is heated. <br/> <br/> <b>Specific heat at constant volume</b> is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a gas throught 1 degree, when it is heat at constant volume. <br/> <br/> <b>Specific heat at constant pressure</b> is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a gas through 1 degree, when it is heated at constant pressure. <br/> The ratio of specific heat at constant pressure Cp and specific heat at constant volume Cv is always more than one.
