# MISC

Kinetic Model of Ideal Gases:

1. The gas is composed of identical molecules moving in random directions in an area that is several orders of magnitude larger than their size
2. Collisions are completely Elastic
3. The transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat.

Specific Heat Capacity vs Thermal Capacity

* <https://askanydifference.com/difference-between-specific-heat-and-thermal-capacity/>
* Basically Thermal Capacity is its abillity to store heat, in contrast, heat capacity is its overall ability to absorb heat without increasing temperature.
  * Therefore, if there is greater amount of stuff ( mass ), it will be able to store more heat, in addition, if it can absorb more heat without increasing temperature, naturally it can absorb more heat.

$$
\text{Thermal Capacity} = \text{Mass} \times \text{Specific Heat Capacity}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowmayus.gitbook.io/physics/heat/misc.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
