This lecture explains the experimental setup required to measure specific heat, focusing on the isolation of the sample and sample holder. It covers the simple heating and cooling process, the impact of thermal coupling, and the analytical method known as two-toment. The lecture also discusses extending the heating regime for first-order phase transitions and the significant peak in specific heat that occurs at the transition temperature.
