Why is specific heat capacity taken as a measure of thermal inertia?
उत्तर
We have H = ms Δθ or Δθ = (H/ms).
It follows that if s is more, Δθ will be small (for given values of H and m). Thus, for a given body, its specific heat capacity determines the change in temperature produced by a given quantity of heat. It is thus like mass in mechanics which determines the change in velocity (or the acceleration) produced by a given force. It is quite appropriate, therefore, to regard specific heat capacity as a measure of thermal inertia.

A child running a temperature of 101°F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98 °F in 20 min, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug? Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal g–1.
