First you have to assume that what you are blending is evenly mixed, then this should make sense:
Volume1 x Density1 x SpecificH1 = Value1
Volume2 x Density2 x SpecificH2 = Value2
SpecificHcombine = (Value1+Value2)/(VolumeCombine x DensityCombine)

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Fw: Specific heat
Can anybody please tell me how to calculate combined specific heat of a compound material from two or more values of specific heat of
its components.
For example, to calculate specific heat of fly ash brick masonry from value of specific heat of fly ash brick suppose 'x' & value of specific
heat of cement mortar suppose 'y'.
Thanks in advance !!!!
