Specific Heat of Air Formula

The specific heat of air increases with temperature. This linear correlation provides the specific heat as a function of temperature for use in air correction calculations.

\begin{equation}\label{eq:energy-input-exhaust-gas-specific-heat-air-cpp} SH_{air} = 0.017828518 + 0.000002556 \cdot T_{air}\end{equation}
