The specific heat of transformer oil typically ranges from 1.5 to 2.1 J/g°C, depending on the specific formulation and additives in the oil. This property is crucial for thermal management in transformers, as it influences how effectively the oil can absorb and transfer heat generated during operation, ultimately affecting the efficiency and longevity of the transformer. Proper understanding and management of the specific heat of transformer oil help in maintaining optimal operational temperatures and preventing overheating.
