Heat Capacity Constant Volume in Thermodynamics Formulas

Heat capacity constant volume is the amount of heat energy absorbed/released per unit mass of a substance where the volume does not change. And is denoted by C_v. Heat Capacity Constant Volume is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K for Specific Heat Capacity. Note that the value of Heat Capacity Constant Volume is always positive. Typically, the value of Heat Capacity Constant Volume is greater than 0.
