It has played a dual role, one in Equation 2.18 on specific heat ratio and the other as an isentropic exponent in Equation 2.53. In the previous calculation of the speed of sound. Equation 2.32, the k assumes the singular specific heat ratio value, such as at compressor suction conditions. When a non-perfect gas is being compressed from point 1 to point 2, as in the head Equation 2.66, k at 2 will not necessarily be the same as k at 1. Fortunately, in many practical conditions, the k doesn t change very... 

To complete the discussion of the second-order interaction between tunneling centers, we note that the corresponding contribution to the heat capacity in the leading low T term comes from the ripplon-TLS term and scales as 7 +2 where a is the anomalous exponent of the specific law. Within the approximation adopted in this section, a = 0. However, it is easily seen that the magnitude of the interaction-induced specific heat is down from the two-level system value by a factor of 10(a/ ) ([Pg.188]

This implies that the exponents and y defined above are 0 = y = 2( = d) for a first-order transition. Since the symmetry around if = 0 is preserved for finite L, there is no shift of the transition. This feature is different, however, if we consider temperature-driven first-order transitions , since there is no symmetry between the disordered high-temperature phase and the ordered low-temperature phase. In order to understand the rounding of the delta-function singularity of the specific heat, which measures the latent heat for L- oo, it now is useful to consider the energy distribution, for which again a double Gaussian approximation applies ...

Additional comment deserve magnetostriction measurements near the ordering temperature 7c reflecting critical phenomena. Few data for critical expansion is available, such as have been reported by Dolejsi and Swenson (1981) for the case of Gd metal. The thermal expansion coefficient in the critical region should assume the form 1(7 — Tc)/Tc °-The critical exponent or should be the same as for the specific heat and depend only on the universality class (dimensionality, No. of degrees of freedom) of the system. For Gd metal this universality class has been determined by Frey et al. (1997).

Maybe the major achievement provided by the discovery of the fe rfim is the possibility to study the complete set of critical exponents on a ferroic system for the first time after their prediction [9,10]. Table 15.1 shows the results as compared with predictions from theory and simulations. Most remarkably, the order parameter exponent ft (Figure 15.10) clearly deviates from the prediction ft 0 and achieves a value which comes close to that observed recently on the standard rfim system, the dilute uniaxial antiferromagnet Fci ,Zn.,F2, x = 0.15, in an external magnetic field [50], Further, the most disputed value, namely the specific heat exponent a [48] (Figure 15.12) clearly describes the same logarithmic divergence as that found on Fci. Zn. I 2, a 0 [10], which still lacks theoretical confirmation.

The larger the value of the exponent b, the higher the rate of decay in temperature. Note that b is proportional to the surface area, but inversely proportional to the mass and the specific heat of the body. This is not surprising since it takes longer to heat or cool a larger mass, especially when it has a large specific heat. 

The reverse process,. e. the production of heat when work is done, was discovered at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The exponents of the material theory of heat, guided by the assumption of the constancy of the heat substance in nature, explained the evolution of heat on turning metals by a supposed decrease in their specific heat. Count Rumford showed, however, by experiments on the large scale that the rise in temperature caused by the boring of a cannon cannot be accounted for by the decrease in the specific heat of the turnings. In 1798 he was the first to state clearly that the motion of the horses, which were used to drive the drill, was the true cause of the observed rise in temperature.
