SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between specific heat capacity and its variation with pressure and temperature for superheated vapors. It is established that specific heat capacity (SHC) is defined as Q / M (θ), where Q represents heat added, M is mass, and θ is temperature. The participants agree that as temperature increases, the specific heat capacity decreases, indicating an inverse relationship. This understanding is crucial for thermodynamic calculations involving superheated vapors.

all i know as specific heat capacity is = Q / M (theta), there is an inverse effect on theta (temperature) and specific heat capacity, as temp increases SHC decreases!
