Specific heat capacity at constant pressure

[v_pino]

I've read that:

specific heat capacity at constant pressure = dU-W / m. dT

dU = change in internal energy
W = work done
m = mass of gas
dT = change in temperature

-----------------------------------
However, shouldn't the right hand side equate to specific heat capacity at constant VOLUME?

By saying that it is specific heat capacity at constant pressure, I thought we have already taken into account the energy used to expand the gas.

Specific heat capacity at constant pressure, by definition, is

c_P=\frac{1}{m}\left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_P=\frac{1}{m}\left(\frac{\partial (U+PV)}{\partial T}\right)_P=\frac{1}{m}\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_P+\frac{P}{m}\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)_P

If c_P is constant, we can integrate and get

c_P=\frac{\Delta U+W}{m\Delta T}

In contrast,

c_V=\frac{1}{m}\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_V

and, if c_V is constant,

c_V=\frac{\Delta U}{m\Delta T}

Does this answer your question?
