Thermal properties refer to how materials respond to heat. Key thermal properties of solids include heat capacity, thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity. Heat capacity is a material's ability to absorb heat and increase temperature, while thermal expansion is the expansion or contraction of materials with temperature changes.

What is thermal property?
Thermal property refers to a material's response to heat, affecting its temperature and dimensions.
What are some essential thermal properties of solids?
Some essential thermal properties of solids include heat capacity, thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity.
What is heat capacity?
Heat capacity is a material's capacity to absorb heat from external sources, indicating the energy needed to increase a unit temperature.
What is specific heat?
Specific heat represents the heat capacity per unit mass and has various units (J/kg.K, cal/g.K, Btu/lbm .oF).
What is the difference between Cv and CP?
Cv is the heat capacity while maintaining the specimen volume constant, while CP is the heat capacity while maintaining external pressure constant.
What is vibrational heat capacity?
Vibrational heat capacity refers to the thermal energy generated by the high-frequency vibrations of atoms in solid materials.
What are phonons?
Phonons are quantized elastic waves generated by the vibrational thermal energy in solid materials.
How does heat capacity change with temperature?
Heat capacity increases with temperature, allowing lattice waves to enhance their average energy.
What is thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the expansion or contraction of solid materials upon heating or cooling.
What is the linear coefficient of thermal expansion?
The linear coefficient of thermal expansion indicates the degree to which a material expands upon heating and has units of reciprocal temperature [(oC)-1 or (oF)-1].
