typedef Standard_Real	Quantity_SpecificHeatCapacity
	Defined as the quantity of heat required to raise unit mass by one degree temperature. For a gas there are two values: one at constant pressure, the other at constant volume. Their ratio is linked to the speed of sound in the gas and to the number of degrees of freedom of the molecules. It is quantified as energy per unit mass per degree of temperature. It is measured in joules per kilogram per degree kelvin. More...
