Liquid Heat Capacity or Liquid Specific Heat is tagged LiquidSpecificHeat
. This property is tabulated against temperature and used in the vaporization model of liquid fuels. It is a 5-coefficient correlation with units of J/kmol-K.
The first number in the tag is an integer indicating the type of the correlation and the next five numbers are the five correlation coefficients: A through E. The liquid specific heat calculation uses two types of correlations (mutually exclusive). The type of correlation is determined based on the first ID tag that is either 1 or 2. The Type 1 correlation ( Equation 3) is most commonly used. However, a few components, such as n-butane and n-heptane, use the Type 2 correlation ( Equation 4).
