O-305 Estimation method for thermodynamic properties of biomass-derived oil

Abstract

Simplified estimation method for thermodynamic properties, especially heating value and heat capacity, of biomass-derived oil is proposed in this research. Heating value was estimated with arranged Dulong's formula. The proposed formula well estimates reported heating value of hydrocarbons in NIST database with the errors less than ±8%. Heat capacity was estimated according to the kinetic theory of gas. Heat capacity of one mole of atom was obtained, which enabled to calculate the heat capacity of bio-oil.
