How to calculate the specific heat of gas
Thread Content
It is known that the composition of this gas is: 10.5% CO2, 28% CO, 2.7% H2, 0.3% CH4, and 58.5% N. Does anyone know how to calculate the specific heat of this gas?
Find the calorific value of this substance, multiply it by the proportion of that substance in the gas along with the calorific values of each pure component, and then sum the results to obtain the calorific value of the gas
The weighted sum of the calorific values of various components: Gas has a high calorific value and a low calorific value; the low calorific value does not include the heat released due to the condensation of water vapor after combustion
Reply to 2# chenzu*ng: What I actually asked about was specific heat; it seems to be different from calorific value, right?
You can replace the calorific value with the specific heat at constant pressure; it’s the same principle – the specific heat of gas equals the weighted average of the specific heats of its various components. It should be noted that the specific heat at constant pressure varies with temperature, so care must be taken to select the appropriate temperature when looking up this value.
