to:
Develop the general energy balance applied to
closed system

SPECIFIC HEATS
Definition: The energy required to raise
the temperature of a unit mass of a
substance by 1 degree.
❐ common units: kJ/kg°°C or kJ/kgK
du = C v ( T ) dT dh = C p ( T ) dT
The integration in these equation can be performed assuming constant specific
heats, yielding
Q − W = ∆U + ∆KE + ∆PE
Lecture 2
Specific heat relations of ideal
gases (cont’d)
Derive relationship between specific heats.
We know that h = u + pv h = u + RT
Differentiate w.r.t T dh du
= +R
dT dT
Which means that C p (T ) = Cv (T ) + R
If CP and Cv remain
constant with C p = Cv + R (kJ/kgK)
temperature;

Specific Heats Of Solids And Liquids
Incompressible substance: A substance whose specific
volume (or density) is constant. Solids and liquids are
incompressible substances.
