In Imperial units, the specific heat of water is measure in units of British thermal unit (BTU or Btu). 1 BTU is defined as the energy required to raise 1 lb(mass) of water from 60°F to 61°F at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.

Why does specific gravity not have a unit?

Specific Gravity is a unitless number because it is the ratio between the density of the material of interest and a standard material (e.g. water). The units cancel out leaving a numerical value only.


What is the specific heat value for water?

The specific heat value for water is 4.18 J/goC.


Is furlong for water or for land?

A furlong is a measure of distance in imperial units and U.S. customary units. It is equal to one-eighth of an international mile, to 220 yards, and to 660 feet.

Why does specific heat has the same numerical value in metric and british systems?

Specific heat is dimensionless, and dimensionless units have the same value in any system. Specific heat is the ratio between two densities - that of the substance considered, and that of water. The ratio of two quantities of the same dimension will naturally be a dimensionless number.


Which has the highest specific heat value -land or water?

WATER


Does specific gravity has units?

- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3. - But if you think to relative density: Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.


What is the expression and value for specific heat of water?

How many Imperial gallons to a cubic meter of water?

There are 220 Imperial gallons to one cubic meter.


How much water is in 800 ml?

It depends what proportion of the 800ml is water. For example if it is only half water, then there is 400 ml of water in 800 ml. If you want it in some other units (eg litres, imperial gallon, US gallons) which you understand then tell us what units you want it converted into and we may be able to help.


What is the specific gravity and its unit?

Specific gravity doesn't have units. It's the density relative to water, so specific gravity is effectively just a number.


What is the difference between a mineral's density and its specific gravity?

A mineral's density refers to its mass per unit volume, typically measured in g/cm3. Specific gravity, on the other hand, is the ratio of the mineral's density to the density of water. It is a dimensionless value that indicates how much denser or lighter a mineral is compared to an equal volume of water.
