Question

2. Thermal Capacitance of caster oil a) Compute the thermal capacitance of 50 ml of caster oil, for which $\rho$ = 961 kg/m³ and 1.97 kJ/(kg K). Note that 1 ml=$10^{-6}$ m³. b) Describe what happens to the thermal capacitance as the volume increases. Explain why. c) How much energy does it take to raise the oil temperature from room temperature (20°C) to 45°C? d) How would this change for a material with a lower specific heat? Explain why.
