I'm running a simulation on a gas mixture that spits out its Specific Heat in a number of different units.
The values for Specific Heat in Btu/lbmolF vs Btu/lbmolR are the same, which confuses me at first glance.
I sort of remember in Thermo not having to worry about Btu/lbmolF vs Btu/lbmolR, even though looking at it from a unit perspective I would have to multiply by 460 (from 1F = 460.67 R) to convert between them. I have googled this and can't find much information.
Does this come from relative temperature being a temperature difference vs an absolute temp?
Can I trust the output from this simulation for my compressor efficiency calculations?
