Oil heat capacity

A1.5 Heat Capacity#

Wright

The Wright (1991) correlation was developed to calculate the isobaric heat capacity of crude oils over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. The method is based on generalized experimental data for various types of crude, including heavy and bituminous oils. A distinguishing feature of the model is its consideration of oil density, temperature, and pressure through polynomial relationships. 
Recommended applicability range: 

• Oil density (API Gravity): 10 – 50 °API
• Pressure: < 5000 psi
• Temperature: 50 – 350 °F
