...thermometer. The relative ammint of heat present in a body is measured by the thermal unit. This is the quantity of heat required to raise a pound of water from 32° F. to 33° F. Hence, a gallon of boiling water would contain eight times as many thermal units... | |

...example, to raise the temperature of a pound of charcoal from 20° C to 21° C requires one-fourth of the quantity of heat, required to raise a pound of water from 20° C to 21° C. Hence, if the specific heat of water be represented by 1, the specific heat of charcoal... | |
