How to Calculate Specific Heat and Heat Capacity of Soil?

This article will guide you about how to calculate specific heat and heat capacity of soil. Specific Heat: Specific heat may be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1°C. The specific heat of dry soil (0.2 cal/g) is only about one-fifth that of water (1 cal/g). Hence, moist [...]
