Isochoric and isobaric heat capacities of homogeneous substance =============================================================== The **Mayer's relation** is the relation between heat capacity at constant pressure and heat capacity at constant volume. In the current form it is applicable to any homogeneous substance, not just ideal gases. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia, second formula `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.thermodynamics.isochoric_and_isobaric_heat_capacities_of_homogeneous_substance .. py:data:: isobaric_heat_capacity :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.thermodynamics.heat_capacity` at constant :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.classical_mechanics.pressure`.
