Heat Equation
(OP)
What is the preferred name for the following equation:
Q = m*Cp*deltaT ?
For instance, P*V = n*R*T is called the ideal gas law.
Thanks.

RE: Heat Equation
Where:
Q = heat
q= heat per unit mass
m = mass of substance
Cp = specific heat of substance
delta t = temperature difference
Therefore:
q = Q/m
Cp = Q/m(delta t) = q/delta t
Q = mCp(delta t)
