Heat capacity
From the first law of thermodynamics we have
the heat capacity is given by
At constant volume
- Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle C_{v}=\left.{\frac {\delta Q}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{V}=\left.{\frac {\partial U}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{V}}
where U is the internal energy, T is the temperature, and V is the volume.
At constant pressure
- Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle C_{p}=\left.{\frac {\delta Q}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{p}=\left.{\frac {\partial U}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{p}+p\left.{\frac {\partial V}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{p}}
where p is the pressure.
