APPLICATION OF SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

The temperature change of a substance with a high specific heat capacity is small when a large quantity of heat its apply to it.

According to the definition of specific heat capacity:

  • a substance with high value of specific heat capacity requires more heat to raise its temperature by a specific amount.
  • as a result, the substance heats up and cools down at a slower rate

COOLING SYSTEM

1.Pumps of water through channels into the engine block.

2.Heat from the combustion of petrol-air mixture in the cylinders is transferred to the water.

3.Hot water flows to the radiator.

4.Hot water in the radiator is cooled by air, which is drawn in by the radiator fan, blowing over the fins of radiator.

5.Heat is absorbed from the water is released.

Water is a good example of a substance with a high specific heat capacity.Therefore, water acts as a heat reservoir as it can absorbs a great amount of heat before it boils

A car engine produces a great amount of heat. Water, being a good heat reservoir, is used as a cooling agents to prevent overheating of the engine.
