Cp vs. P
In week 1 article(‘T_ P dependence of heat capacity’), pressure dependence of heat capacity is ignorable in most cases while the temperature dependence is significant. However, heat capacity strongly depends on pressure sometimes.
In this video, the variation of heat capacity with pressure is mathematically derived. The derivation starts from the enthalpy function. Through mathematical manipulation and a property relation, the variation of heat capacity with pressure is estimated.
