| ==Heat Capacity==
| |
|
| |
|
| The concept of Heat Capacity is integral to understanding how the temperature of a substance rises and falls. Heat Capacity is the ratio of energy added or removed from a substance to the temperature change observed in that substance. Typically, heat capacities are expressed in terms of the amount of heat (kJ, J, or kCal) that needs to be added to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin). Typical units of Heat Capacities are J/g, kJ/kg, and BTU/lb-mass. The SI unit of heat capacity is J/g.

| |
|
| |
|
| |
| ====Specific Heat Capacity====
| |
|
| |
| If A = B and A = C, then B = C
| |
| A = B = C
| |
|
| |
| ====Molar Heat Capacity====
| |
| Molar heat capacity is similar to specific heat capacity. It expresses the amount of heat required to raise one gram-mole of a substance by one degree. It is expressed in J/mol-°C. The molar heat capacity of water is 75.37 J/mol-°C.

| Thermodynamics was brought up as a science in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, it was first brought up by Galilei, who introduced the concept of temperature and invented the first thermometer. G. Black first introduced the word 'thermodynamics'. Later, G. Wilke introduced another unit of measurement known as the calorie that measures heat. The idea of thermodynamics was brought up by Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot. He is often known as "the father of thermodynamics". It all began with the development of the steam engine during the Industrial Revolution. He devised an ideal cycle of operation. During his observations and experimentations, he had the incorrect notion that heat is conserved, however he was able to lay down theorems that led to the development of thermodynamics. In the 20th century, the science of thermodynamics became a conventional term and a basic division of physics. Thermodynamics dealt with the study of general properties of physical systems under equilibrium and the conditions necessary to obtain equilibrium.
