My understanding is, first work out each phase's mass flow rate Wo = (densityofoil*qo) Ww = (densityofwate*qw) Wg = (densityofgas*qg) WTotal = Wo + Ww + Wg Then work out the ratio, CpTotal = (Wo/WTotal)*Cpo + (Ww/WTotal)*Cpw + (Wg/WTotal)*Cpg

qo = quantity of oil being added qw = quantity of water being added qg = quantity of gas being added qt = quantity of mixture providing units are all the same i would have thought the units aren't important as it just a ratio

so do you think the following is acceptable? Cp = (qo/qt)Cpo + (qw/qt)Cpw +(qg/qt)Cpg

Wow, Thanks for the hasty reply guys. Probably best to assume the following: Water (pure) Oil with a SG of 0.88 and a Cp of 1.7585 kj/kg.K Gas (natural) with a Sg of 0.7 and a Cp of 5.5265 kj/kg.K

Hi, I was woindering if anyone can help me on a problem I have been stuck on for a while now. I have an equation to combine the heat capcity of oil and water, but I can't find an equation anywhere that combines the heat capacities for water oil and gas. All i have is CpL =...
