Specific Heat of Flue Gas Flow

Posted in: , on 28. Feb. 2009 - 14:07

Can anybody tell me what is the average spcific heat of flue gas flow 296229 Kg/Hr with temp and pressure is 0.08 Bar . Note the gas is flue gas coming after the cement plant. I need this value to calculate Heat duty by using mcp(t1-t2)

guddu:

For fossil fuels (i.e., coal, fuel oil, diesel oil, LPG or natural gas), the flue gas specific heat can be assumed to be 1.02 to 1.03 kJ/(kg ·°C) which is equivalent to 0.25 Btu/(lb·°F).

If you are using some other fuel, then you will need the flue gas composition as noted by Michael Reid's response.

Replies to previous threads along this vein have all indicated that you should refer to one of the many available cement production journals & textbooks .

This question is yet again inconsistent whereby your quoted temperature & pressure is 0.08bar & by definition the specific heat is ...specific & not dependent on the mass flow.

Apart from redesigning a cement plant for free; what is the hidden agenda here?

Masquerading in a process engineering situation is not advisable.

if i have data for flue gas alike this below :

O2 in % (wt)= 16

N2 = 72.40

CO2 = 4.50

H2O = 5.80

Ar = 1.30

how to make detail calculation for specific heat of flue gas ?

for addition data, we use NG = Natural Gas as combustion's fuel
