Specific Heat in Convective Mass Transfer Formulas

Specific Heat is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of fluid by one degree Celsius in laminar or turbulent flow. And is denoted by Q_s. Specific Heat is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K for Specific Heat Capacity. Note that the value of Specific Heat is always negative.

FAQ

What is the Specific Heat?

Specific Heat is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of fluid by one degree Celsius in laminar or turbulent flow. Specific Heat is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K for Specific Heat Capacity. Note that the value of Specific Heat is always negative.

Can the Specific Heat be negative?

Yes, the Specific Heat, measured in Specific Heat Capacity can be negative.

What unit is used to measure Specific Heat?

Specific Heat is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K[J/(kg*K)] for Specific Heat Capacity. Joule per Kilogram per Celcius[J/(kg*K)], Kilojoule per Kilogram per K[J/(kg*K)], Kilojoule per Kilogram per Celcius[J/(kg*K)] are the few other units in which Specific Heat can be measured.
