Use the maxwellboltzmann equations for a diatomic molecule


1. An experimentally determined relation for the temperature dependence of the constant pressure specific heat of molecular oxygen O2 over a wide temperature range is

Cp = 0.3598 + 47.81/T - 5.406/√T

where cp is in Btu/ (lbm .R) and T is in R.

2. Use the MaxwellBoltzmann equations for a diatomic molecule and attempt to predict the coefficients of the first two terms (i.e., 0.3598 and 47.81) of the equation. (Hint: At very high temperatures, exp (Θv /T ≈1+ Θv /T). Explain why your results may not be very accurate
