Can we define specific heat capacity for an adiabatic process?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Specific heat capacity, s =`(triangle "Q")/(m triangleT)`, where `(triangle "Q")/m` is the heat supplied per unit mass of the substance and ΔT is the change in temperature produced. In an adiabatic process, no heat exchange is allowed; so, ΔQ = 0 and hence, s = 0. Therefore, in an adiabatic process, specific heat capacity is zero.

[Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].
