Specific heat is of zero dimensions in length, mass, and time. It is in fact the ratio increment of heat in the substance increment of heat in water for a given increment of temperature, the comparison being between equal masses of the substance at the actual temperature and of water at the standard temperature. The numerical value of a given concrete specific heat merely depends upon the standard temperature at which the specific heat of water is called unity. 72. The thermal capacity of unit volume of a substance is another important element, we shall denote it by c. Let s denote the specific heat, and d the density of the substance; then c is the thermal capacity of d units of mass, and therefore c=sd. The dimensions of c in length, mass, and time are the same as those of d, namely y-g. Its numerical value will not be altered by any change in the units of length, mass, and time which leaves the value of the density of water unchanged. In the C.G.S. system, since the density of water between 0 and 4 is very approximately unity, the thermal capacity of unit volume of a substance is the value of the ratio increment of heat in the substance increment of heat in water for a given increment of temperature, when the comparison is between equal volumes. Conductivity. 73. By the thermal conductivity of a substance at a given temperature is meant the value of k in the express...
