Hello dear all,
This is probably a stupid question but i havenīt been able to find a clear answer in the forums... Are the units of the heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) in the thermophysicalProperties file [J/kmol K] or [J/kg K]? I found this thread (http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-openfoam.html) where somebody said that the units are [J/kmol K], and i found the same units in /src/thermophysicalModels/specie/thermo/hConst/hConstThermo.H in line 141: //- Heat capacity at constant pressure [J/(kmol K)] inline scalar cp(const scalar T) const; However, in the angledDuct tutorial for rhoPimpleFoam, the Cp value (air) is 1007, which looks to me like [J/kg K]... Is this an error in the tutorial? Best Regards |
