[edit] Relation between specific heats - 1For thermoelastic materials, show that the specific heats are related by the relation |
Proof:
Recall that
and
Therefore,
Also recall that
Therefore, keeping
constant while differentiating, we have
Noting that
, and plugging back into the equation for the difference between the two specific heats, we have
Recalling that
we get
[edit] Relation between specific heats - 2For thermoelastic materials, show that the specific heats can also be related by the equations |
Proof:
Recall that
Recall the chain rule which states that if
- g(u,t) = f(x(u,t),y(u,t))
then, if we keep u fixed, the partial derivative of g with respect to t is given by
In our case,
Hence, we have
Taking the derivative with respect to T keeping
constant, we have
or,
Now,
Therefore,
Again recall that,
Plugging into the above, we get
Therefore, we get the following relation for
:
Recall that
Plugging in the expressions for
we get:
Therefore,
Using the identity
, we have
[edit] Specific heats of Saint-Venant–Kirchhoff materialConsider an isotropic thermoelastic material that has a constant coefficient of thermal expansion and which follows the Saint-Venant–Kirchhoff model, i.e, where α is the coefficient of thermal expansion and Show that the specific heats related by the equation |
Proof:
Recall that,
Plugging the expressions of
and
into the above equation, we have
Therefore,
