Applications of Specific Heat capacity

Application of Specific Heat capacity

1. Substances having a small specific heat capacity can be quickly heated up, it also experience a big change in temperature even though only small amount of heat is supplied.
2. Substances having a small specific heat capacity, are very useful as material in cooking instruments such as frying pans, pots, kettles and so on, because, they can be quickly heated up even when small amount oh heat is supplied.
3. Sensitive thermometers also must be made from materials with small specific heat capacity.
4. Substances that have a high specific heat capacity is suitable as a material for constructing kettle handlers, insulators and oven covers, because, even when much heat is given it will only undergo a small changes in temperature.
5. Heat storage instruments are very useful and they are usually made of substances with a high specific heat capacity.
6. Water as a cooling agent acts excellent as a cooling agent in engines. Water is also used in houses in cold climate countries.
