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
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)"
