Use these values when necessary:
Specific Heat Ratio (k)
O2 - 1.395
Co2 = 1.288
Cpwater = 4.187 kJ/kg
H2 - 1.4
He = 1.667
NH3 = 1.304
N2 = 1.399
Hg = 1.666
CH: = 1.321
K; Cpair = 1 kJ/kg
- K; Cpatean = 2 kJ/kg - K
1 kg - 2.205 lb
"C to K = (use + 273.15)
1 bar = 100 kPa
1 BTU = 1.055 kJ = 778 ft - lb
1 HP = 0. 746 kW = 2545 BTU/hr
= 6.5748 kJ/kg - K
@ 1.03425 MPa:
@ 2.5 MPa :
@ 7MPA and 550 deg C:
= 2779. 4 kJ/kg; Sg
hg = 2803.1 kJ/kg; Sg = 6.2575 kJ/ kg
h: = 3530.9 kJ/kg; s: = 6.9486 kJ/kg
