Specific Heat of Air in Heat and Mass Transfer Formulas

Specific heat of air is the heat required to raise the temperature of a air by one degree to that required to raise the temperature of an equal mass of water one degree. And is denoted by cp. Specific Heat of Air is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K for Specific Heat Capacity. Note that the value of Specific Heat of Air is always negative.
