What is the Specific Heat Capacity of Thermal Oil?
1 Answers
Specific heat capacity refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given amount of homogeneous substance by 1K without phase change or chemical reaction. Below is an introduction to specific heat capacity: 1. Concept: Based on the concept of specific heat capacity, the molar heat capacity representing the heat required to raise the temperature of 1mol of substance by 1K can be derived. The molar heat capacity under isobaric conditions (Cp) is called the isobaric molar heat capacity. The molar heat capacity under isochoric conditions (Cv) is called the isochoric molar heat capacity. Typically, the relationship between isobaric molar heat capacity and temperature is expressed as a polynomial. 2. Performance: Thermal oil possesses properties such as resistance to thermal cracking and chemical oxidation, excellent heat transfer efficiency, rapid heat dissipation, and strong thermal stability. As an industrial heat transfer medium, it has the following characteristics: It can significantly reduce the operating pressure and safety requirements of high-temperature heating systems, enhancing the reliability of the system and equipment; It can reduce the complexity of the system and operation; It can decrease the initial investment and operational costs of the heating system.
