Abstract

We present a theoretical and experimental approach to the measurement of specific heat capacity of air under the condition of constant pressure, p c . We use equipment of daily life of students instead of sophisticated apparatus. Moreover the type of thermodynamic process is determined experimentally, too. The errors of measurement are less than 10 percent.
