Specific Heat of #5 oil

Specific Heat of #5 oil

Specific Heat of #5 oil

(OP)
I'm looking for the Cp (at about 60 Deg F) of #5 oil. I really need the Cp of waste oil - but I think #5 will be close enough for what I am trying to calculate.

Thanks...

RE: Specific Heat of #5 oil

If you do a search for 'specific heat' keyword, you'll find lots of information recently discussed.  From one of the posts:

Hi BWodka:  My wife gave me a present last weekend:  a 4th Edition of Marks' Handbook for Mech. Engineers, printed in 1941.  (Only an engineer could love something like this).  This edition says: "The specific heat (c) of petroleum products at temperature (t) deg F is given by the equation

c = (0.388 + 0.00045t)/(sqrt specific gravity)"
