Specific Heat Constants for Gases

The document provides specific heat capacity constants (C1, C2, C3, C4) for various gases up to certain maximum temperatures (Tmax), as well as standard enthalpy of formation values (ΔHf0) at 298K and molar weights for several materials. It also gives an example calculation of determining energy (duty) using specific heat capacity constants, molar flow rates, enthalpy of formation, and temperature differences to calculate enthalpy changes and resulting energy.

Sample calculation of energy balance

To calculate the heat capacity:

Q = m x CPx (Tout –Tin)


Q = duty (J/hr)
m = molar flow (kmol/hr)
CP = Specific heat capacity (kJkmol-1K-1)
ΔH = enthalpy (kJ/kmol)
ΔH˚f = standard enthalpy of formation (kJ/kmol)

OR
Q = (m x ΔH)out - (m x ΔH)in
T

ΔH (kJ / kmol) = ΔH˚f + ∫ CPdt


298 K

ΔH = ΔH˚f + [AT + (BT2/2) + (CT3/3) + (DT4/4)

ATR
Using: (m x ΔH) out - (m x ΔH) in = m (ΔH out - ΔH in)
m
ΔH (stream) = ΔH˚f + AT + BT2 + CT3 + DT4
