SHC

Cards (9)

  • specific heat capacity = SHC
  • SHC = energy needed to increase a 1kg mass objects temp by 1°C
  • all materials = different SHC values
  • metals heat up quickly -> low SHC -> don't need much energy to heat up
  • waters have higher SHC -> lots of energy needed to heat up
  • Q = mcΔθ
  • c = SHC
  • Δ( change) θ = change in temperature
  • SHC =J/kg°C
