Ideal Gas Molar Heat Capacity (Constant Pressure)

Properties of Gases and Liquids uses the following correlation for the ideal gas molar heat capacity:

\[\frac{c_{\text{p ig}}}{R} = a0 + a1 \times T + a2 \times T^2 + a3 \times T^3 + a4 \times T^4\]

Ideal Gas Molar Enthalpy

The correlation for the ideal gas molar enthalpy is derived from the correlation for the molar heat capacity and is given below:

\[\frac{h_{\text{ig}} - h_{\text{ig ref}}}{R} = a0 \times (T-T_{ref}) + \frac{a1}{2} \times (T^2 - T_{ref}^2) + \frac{a2}{3} \times (T^3 - T_{ref}^3) + \frac{a3}{4} \times (T^4 - T_{ref}^4) + \frac{a4}{5} \times (T^5 - T_{ref}^5) + \Delta h_{\text{form, Vap}}\]

Ideal Gas Molar Entropy

The correlation for the ideal gas molar entropy is derived from the correlation for the molar heat capacity and is given below:

\[\frac{s_{\text{ig}}}{R}= a0 \times ln(T/T_{ref}) + a1 \times (T - T_{ref}) + \frac{a2}{2} \times (T^2 - T_{ref}^2) + \frac{a3}{3} \times (T^3 - T_{ref}^3) + \frac{a4}{4} \times (T^4 - T_{ref}^4) + s_{\text{form, Vap}}\]
