Description of the invention: The invention involves the measurement of heat capacity and specific heat of materials using a microprocessor. the necessity of using an insulated container or thermos and the heat loss in the measurements is 15 It is related to the specific heat measurement system and method that eliminates these problems. Specific heat measurement system, computer (1), container (2), microprocessor (3), temperature sensor (4) includes the measuring equipment (5) and the material sample (6). The material specific heat measurement system used in the invention is based on measuring during the measurement process. The mathematical 20 amount of heat escaping to the environment from a container without insulation properties (2) Determining this through modeling and then taking this heat loss into account It is based on the principle of using a measuring cup suitable for mathematical modeling of heat loss. A quantity (250 g) of water is added. Temperature sensor (4), breadboard measuring equipment consisting of parts such as connecting cables etc. (5) parts using a microprocessor (3) and reducing the water temperature over time, i.e., 25 Temperature-time data is collected at a rate of one data point every five seconds. A typical example... The temperature-time graph is shown in Figure 1. In Figure 1, where the temperature-time graph is given, the vertical “S” axis is represented. The axis shows temperature values ​​(in Celsius), and the horizontal axis "Z" shows time values ​​(in seconds). It is stated that "K" is the starting point of the data collection process, and "L" is the point where the specific heat will be measured. The moment the substance sample (6) is thrown into the water, point “M” is hot water and substance the point at which the sample (6) reaches thermal equilibrium and “N” is the moment when data acquisition ends It shows. A temperature-time graph was drawn using the data obtained in order to carry out the measurement. Some data needs to be determined from this. 10 on the temperature-time graph. The initial time from point "L" is ti, the initial temperature is 𝑇, the final time from point M is 𝑡, and the water... The final equilibrium temperature can be determined as T. Heat loss of the material sample (6) from the system to the environment before it is thrown into the hot water by mathematically modeling the temperature-time graph, that is, the relationship between points "K" and "L" It can be found. Since the decrease in temperature over time is linear, this decrease is T15 It can be modeled with the mathematical equation 𝐴𝑡 𝐵. In this equation, A It gives the slope of the experimentally determined graph. Here, "A" is from the system outwards. It is a constant determined by the amount of heat that escapes. The sample of the substance whose specific heat is to be measured (6), Immediately after being placed in hot water, the temperature suddenly and rapidly increases over time. It is decreasing. This is because heat is transferred from the hot water to the cold substance, and substance 20 Depending on the amount of the sample (6), this heat exchange stops after a certain time. and the system (hot water-substance) reaches thermal equilibrium. In this case, the temperature-time The data then changes linearly again. This point is shown in Figure 1. "M" is the point on the temperature-time graph where linearity begins. This can be determined from the graph. In this case, the equilibrium temperature is at point "M" T 25 It can be found as follows. Based on these values, the true equilibrium temperature is the amount of heat released to the environment. By taking this into account, it can be mathematically modeled as follows.

In this case, the standard heat The specific heat can be determined indirectly using the heat exchange equation. Hot water... The amount of heat given off ΔQ m c T is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the cold substance. ΔQ m c T T must be equal. So here ΔQ The equation ΔQ can be written.
