Question

how many specific heats does a gas possess can the value be zero and infinitu​

Answer 1

Answer:

Specific heat is defined as the Heat required to raise a temperature of body of mass 1kg by 1k.

Mathematically C = δ Q/(ΔT.Δm) kj/kgK

For an Isothermal process, there is no temperature change and hence ΔT=0,

Which implies that C = ∞.

Ex: Boiling, Condensation, Heat addition and rejection in Carnot cycle.

For an Adiabatic process, there is no Heat exchange and hence δQ=0,
