1005J/kg k AND Cv = 718 J/kg k.

But Cp-Cv = R.

1005-7158 = 287.

Therefore R = 287 J/kg k.

Gas constant R = 287 J/kgK.
Universal GAs const Ro = 8314 J/kgK.

The question is R for air.

The universal gas constant value is R' = 8.314 Kj/Kg.K.

Gas constant R = R'/M (molecular mass of that gas).

For air molecular mass = 29 (0.78*28 + 0.21*32).

So R = 8.314/29 = 0.287 Kj/Kg. K or 287 J/Kg. K.

Cp = 1005J/kg k AND Cv = 718 J/kg k.

But Cp-Cv = R therefore R = 287 J/kg k.

This is not true.

pv = nRT, R = pv/nT = 1atm*22.4L/6.02*10(23 is the power of)*273.15K.

= 8.3L.atm/mol.K

cp/cv = R, this "R" is molar gas. not gas constant.

Hi, the Cp & Cv values are different for different material.

0.287 Kj/Kg is correct answer.

Engr Arshad jamali said:   9 years ago
287j/kgk is the correct answer.

Yogesh said:   8 years ago
287 j/ kg k is the gas constant only for air.

Why are universal gas constant and gas constant for a particular gas used separately in different problems?which one is used where? Can anybody explain, please?
