8F. Heat capacity and heat load for 0.65-0.75 relative density natural gas Back to Main

This page is used to determine heat capacity and heat load for 0.65-0.75 relative density natural gas. Heat capacity is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a sample of matter by 1 temperature unit.

The heat capacity for 0.65-0.75 relative density natural gas may be estimated from the Figure 8.3

To carry out the heat capacity and heat load calculation the gas relative density, gas flow rate, inlet temperature and the outlet temperature must be entered into the appropriate entry space. To do so use the mouse to click the curser in the entry space and input the data.

Gas Relative Density is the average molecular weight of a gas divided by the molecular weight of air.

Gas Flow Rate is the rate at which the liquid flows through the system

Inlet temperature is the temperature at which the liquid flows into the system.

Outlet temperature is the temperature at which the liquid flows out of the system.

Once the gas relative density, gas flow rate, inlet temperature and the outlet temperature has been entered, select Run to execute the solution.

To convert unit values of data, please refer to “Set Auto Convert and Unit Conversion” in the main page.
