heat capacity at constant volume
31specific heat — n 1) the ratio of the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a body one degree to that required to raise the temperature of an equal mass of water one degree 2) the heat in calories required to raise the temperature of one gram of… …
32thermodynamics — thermodynamicist, n. /therr moh duy nam iks/, n. (used with a sing. v.) the science concerned with the relations between heat and mechanical energy or work, and the conversion of one into the other: modern thermodynamics deals with the properties …
33Ideal gas — Thermodynamics …
34Isochoric process — An isochoric process, also called a constant volume process, an isovolumetric process, or an isometric process, is a thermodynamic process during which the volume of the closed system undergoing such a process remains constant. An isochoric… …
35Calorimetry — is the science of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes. Calorimetry involves the use of a calorimeter. The word calorimetry is derived from the Latin word calor , meaning heat. Scottish physician and scientist Joseph Black …
36Entropy (classical thermodynamics) — In thermodynamics, entropy is a measure of how close a thermodynamic system is to equilibrium. A thermodynamic system is any physical object or region of space that can be described by its thermodynamic quantities such as temperature, pressure,… …
37Internal energy — In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a thermodynamic system, or a body with well defined boundaries, denoted by U , or sometimes E , is the total of the kinetic energy due to the motion of molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational)… …
38Geothermal heat pump — A geothermal heat pump system is a heating and/or an air conditioning system that uses the Earth s ability to store heat in the ground and water thermal masses. These systems operate based on the stability of underground temperatures: the ground… …
