Heat transferred to raise or lower the temperature of a material is called Specific heat.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was posed to me during a job interview.The doubt is from Enthalpy Change in Non-Reactive Processes topic in chapter Energy Balance of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) False

Easy explanation: Heat transferred to raise or lower the temperature of a material is called sensible heat; change in the enthalpy of a SYSTEM due to VARIATION in temperature is called sensible heat change, WHEREAS the TERM specific heat refers to heat capacity expressed on a per-unit-mass BASIS.
