Cultural definitions for heat capacity

heat capacity

In physics, the capability of a substance to absorb energy in the form of heat for a given increase in temperature. Materials with high heat capacities, such as water, require greater amounts of heat to increase their temperatures than do substances with low heat capacities, such as metals. (See entropy.)

Medical definitions for heat capacity

heat capacity

n.

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole or one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius without change of phase.thermal capacity

Scientific definitions for heat capacity

heat capacity

The ratio of the heat energy absorbed by a substance to its increase in temperature. Heat capacity is also called thermal capacity.♦ The specific heat or specific heat capacity of a substance is the heat capacity per unit mass, usually measured in joules per kilogram per degree Kelvin. See also latent heat thermodynamics.
