Heat of combustion
At a constant volume the heat of combustion of a petroleum product can be approximated as follows:
- Qv = 12,400 − 2,100d2
where Qv is measured in cal/gram and d is the specific gravity at 60 °F (16 °C).
Thermal conductivity
The thermal conductivity of petroleum based liquids can be modeled as follows:
,547
where K is measured in BTU · hr−1ft−2 , t is measured in °F and d is the specific gravity at 60 °F (16 °C).
Specific heat
The specific heat of a petroleum oils can be modeled as follows:
,
where c is measured in BTU/lbm-°F, t is the temperature in Fahrenheit and d is the specific gravity at 60 °F (16 °C).
In units of kcal/(kg·°C), the formula is:
,
where the temperature t is in Celsius and d is the specific gravity at 15 °C.
Latent heat of vaporization
The latent heat of vaporization can be modeled under atmospheric conditions as follows:
,
where L is measured in BTU/lbm, t is measured in °F and d is the specific gravity at 60 °F (16 °C).
In units of kcal/kg, the formula is:
,
where the temperature t is in Celsius and d is the specific gravity at 15 °C.
