Gulliver salvages several of the king's hairs from his shaving cream and makes himself a comb. He then makes the seat of a chair from the queen's hair but refuses to sit on it because doing so would be insulting to her.
Heat capacity. (Science: chemistry) The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of an object by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin), it is represented by the symbol c and is given in units of J/K.

The specific heat represents the amount of energy required to raise 1 kg by 1oC (or 1 K) , and can be thought of as the ability of a substance to absorb heat. Therefore the SI units of specific heat capacity are kJ/kg.K (kJ/kg.oC) .Water has a very large specific heat capacity (4.19 kJ/kg.oC) compared with many fluids.he constant-pressure heat capacity-cp-is a measure of the change in enthalpy at a particular temperature. Similarly, the internal energy is a function of temperature and specific volume. The constant volume heat capacity-c v-is a measure of the change in internal energy at a particular temperature and constant volume.
