| double rasmussen_specific_heat_of_air | ( | double | air_temperature, |
| double | mole_fraction_h2o | ||
| ) |
Calculates the specific heat capacity of air at contant pressure from its temperature and moisture content using the method from Rasmussen (1997).
- Parameters
-
[in] air_temperature Temeperature of the air in K [in] mole_fraction_h2o Water vapor concentration in the air expressed as a dimensionless mole fraction
- Returns
- Specific heat capacity of air at contant pressure in J / kg / K
Here we use the polynomial equation for specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure (C_p) defined on pages 13 & 15. Note that the equation, as given, calculates C_p in units of cal / g / K. In the code, the polynomial coefficients are multiplied by a conversion factor so the output is in coherent SI units (J / kg / K).
