Question

An ideal gas of specific heat ratio with volume and pressure

Answer 1

Specific Heat for an Ideal Gas at Constant Pressure and Volume. This represents the dimensionless heat capacity at constant volume; it is generally a function of temperature due to intermolecular forces. For moderate temperatures, the constant for a monoatomic gas is cv=3/2 while for a diatomic gas it is cv=5/2 (see ).
