Chapter 1, Problem 87P

(choose chapter or problem)

Specific heat is defined as the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree. The specific heat of water at room temperature is \(4.18 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in SI unit system. Using the unit conversion function capability of EES, express the specific heat of water in \((a) \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K},(b) \mathrm{B} \mathrm{tw} / \mathrm{lbm} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\), (c) Btu/lbm-R, and \((d) \mathrm{kcal} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) units.
