Hi Jun,

  Cp is the specific heat of a material at constant pressure.  Specific heat
in general is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the
temperature by one degree Celcius.  Various values of Cp can be found online
or in a materials handbook.

Subject: [mems-talk] Fourier equation for Joule heating


Dear folks,

How can I find the parameter Cp in the Fourier equation for Jule heating? Cp
is referenced to the paper in ''Rev.Sci.Instrum. 64(4) April 1993, pp
1053-1060''.

Thank you very much in advance.
