प्रश्न
Answer the following question.
Why do we generally consider two specific heats of a gas?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- A slight change in temperature causes a considerable change in pressure as well as the volume of the gas.
- Therefore, two principal specific heats are defined for a gas viz., specific heat capacity at constant volume (SV), and specific heat capacity at constant pressure (SP).
