I am doing a heat exchanger report for a domestic boiler, and would anyone know what the specific heat capacity for diesel in its liquid and gas(having been combusted) state. In J/kgK please thanks

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 degree Celsius per unit mass.
Specific heat capacity is important for diesel liquid and gas because it helps determine how much heat is required to raise their temperature, which is important for the efficient combustion of these fuels.
The specific heat capacity of diesel liquid is approximately 2.1 J/kgK and the specific heat capacity of diesel gas is approximately 2.1 J/kgK.
The specific heat capacity of diesel liquid and gas can be affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and composition of the fuel.
Specific heat capacity is typically measured through experiments where the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the fuel is recorded and used to calculate the specific heat capacity.
