FAQ

What is the Thermal Capacity?
Thermal capacity of a material, also known as heat capacity, is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a given amount of that material by a certain amount. Thermal Capacity is usually measured using the Joule per Kelvin for Heat Capacity. Note that the value of Thermal Capacity is always positive.
Can the Thermal Capacity be negative?
No, the Thermal Capacity, measured in Heat Capacity cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Thermal Capacity?
Thermal Capacity is usually measured using the Joule per Kelvin[J/K] for Heat Capacity. Joule per Fahrenheit[J/K], Joule per Celsius[J/K], Joule per Kilokelvin[J/K] are the few other units in which Thermal Capacity can be measured.
