Ideal Gas Molar Heat Capacity (Constant Pressure)

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

\[c_{\text{p ig}} = A + B \times T + C \times T^2 + D \times T^3\]

Units are calories per gram-mole kelvin and Kelvin.

Parameters

Symbol Parameter Name Units Description
\(A\) cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_A \(\text{cal/mol}\cdotp\text{K}\)  
\(B\) cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_B \(\text{cal/mol}\cdotp\text{K}^2\)  
\(C\) cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_C \(\text{cal/mol}\cdotp\text{K}^3\)  
\(D\) cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff_D \(\text{cal/mol}\cdotp\text{K}^4\)  

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:

\[h_{\text{ig}} - h_{\text{ig ref}} = A \times (T-T_{ref}) + \frac{B}{2} \times (T^2 - T_{ref}^2) + \frac{C}{3} \times (T^3 - T_{ref}^3) + \frac{D}{4} \times (T^4 - T_{ref}^4) + \Delta h_{\text{form, Vap}}\]

Units are calories per gram-mole kelvin and Kelvin.

\(\Delta h_{\text{form, Vap}}\) enth_mol_form_vap_comp_ref \(\text{cal/mol}\) Molar heat of formation at reference state

Note

This correlation uses the same parameters as the ideal gas heat capacity correlation.

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:

\[s_{\text{ig}} = A \times ln(T/T_{ref}) + B \times (T - T_{ref}) + \frac{C}{2} \times (T^2 - T_{ref}^2) + \frac{D}{3} \times (T^3 - T_{ref}^3) + s_{\text{form, Vap}}\]

Units are calories per gram-mole kelvin and Kelvin.
