Specific heat of R-134a (saturated liquid) vs temperature

Specific heat in kJ/(kg·K), from -40 to 60 °C along the saturation curve. The chart and the table below are the same numbers; the table is the one you can copy.

Rows marked published land exactly on a source anchor and are the tabulated figure. The rest are this library’s interpolation between the two anchors either side — good enough to design with, and said out loud so you can decide that for yourself.
