Relation between Cp and Cv

What is the r...

Question

What is the relation between $C_{p}$ and $C_{v}$ ?

Open in App

Solution

$C_{p}$ - specific heat capacity of substance at constant pressure

$C_{v}$ - specific heat capacity of substance at constant volume.

Relations :

$C_{p} - C_{v} = R$ where, R - gas constant.

$\frac{C_{p}}{C_{v}} = γ$ (specific heat capacity ratio called 'gamma').
