Question

Can we define specific heat capacity for an adiabatic process?

Answer 1

Answer:

Specific heat at Isothermal process- Since the temperature difference will be 0, the denominator becomes 0 and thus the entirety becomes ∞. ThereforeSpecific heat at Isothermal= ∞ Specific heat at Adiabatic process- since the heatrequired in adiabatic process is 0. TheSpecific heat at Adiabatic= 0.

Answer 2

At constant temperature, we cannot determine the specific heat capacity.

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity :- Specific heat efficiency is defined as the amount of thermal energy which is required to elevate a substance's temperature per unit of mass.

$s=\frac{\Delta Q}{m \Delta T}$

where

m  is mass  

T is temperature  

Where $\triangle Q / m$  is considered as the heat supplied by the substance's unit mass and ΔT is considered as the temperature change produced. At steady temperature

ΔT = 0 ;  

s = infinity.  

So, at constant temperature, we cannot determine the specific heat capacity.
