M25 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Hello!I know it is not the right place for this, but I really really need information about the specific heat capacity of sunflower oil at 25 c. I cannot find it anywhere so if anyone knows this information please help me! Edited November 22, 2015 by M25 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevG Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) specific heat capacity is constant tho Edited November 22, 2015 by gusmanK Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CkyBlue Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 specific heat capacity is constant tho If you cannot help a member don't post anything. It is even worse to claim something completely false. OP: When you cannot find such information, it is often reasonable to start making assumptions. If you can identify a major ingredient in the sunflower oil you were using, you can try finding the heat capacity of that instead. There are different types of sunflower oils so it is difficult to really help you, but I'm pretty sure the information you need(or at least, will accept) is out there somewhere. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevG Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 wait it isn't not constant for sunflower oil?damn the more you learn every day i guess Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slovakov Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/specific-heat-fluids-d_151.html Temperature of measurement not given, but it may give a good estimation. As said above, if this isn't enough, you may want to check the main chemical compound of which the oil consists. The databases often give two values: for isobraic and isovolumetric heat capacity, and the one used most often is isobaric, so just watch out for which one you take (in case of liquids they're usually very similar anyway). 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
