In fact, summer is the season for Valley residents to escape to Sedona and find relief in the 90-degree weather!
Based on the Aly and Lee model, the variation of the ideal gas heat capacity at constant pressure of several hydrocarbons (methane through pentanes) and non-hydrocarbons (O2, N2, H2, CO2 and H2O) as a function of temperature are presented in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.
Heat Capacity-Conversion. Heat capacity, or thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity of heat energy required to change the temperature of an object by a given amount. Its SI unit is joule per Kelvin.
