Study Notes
Heat
- Heat is energy transferred to or from a system.
- It’s symbol is Q
- It is measured by Joules = J.
- Heat flows from a higher to lower temperature.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- Heat is a form of energy governed by the first law of thermodynamics.
- Essential to life processes.
Specific Heat of Solids and Fluids
- Heat capacity is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius.
- Specific heat is the heat capacity per unit mass.
- Units of specific heat are (J/(kg \cdot K)) or (J/(kg \cdot °C)).
