Testing a Hydrogen heater with Nitrogen - feessible?

Stephen Biddle
HI All


I've got a heater designed for Hydrigen and I want to test it.  I don't have any Hydrogen, but I do have Nitrogen.  I looked up the specific heat of the 2 gasses and found:


(kL/(kgK))

H2 1.04 

N2 14.32


So they I'm going to need 14 times the flow of Nitrogen to test it.  Is that right?  I expected H2 to have a smaller specific heat, since it's a smaller molecule.  Presumably it's not as simple as that.  Any ideas?

    Thanks - that all makes sense.  I'm going to put th eNItrogen flow on full and the heater on min and keep my hand on the off button.
