Cp-Cv=R so Cp is more.

In const vol process w = pdv become zero so that's why cp>cv?

Cp/Cv = Y(gamma),
Gamma should be greater than 1.
Gamma should be greater than 1.

Because Cp=gama(Cv) which implies Cv should be multiplied with "Gama" to get Cp.

Cp>Cv since,
Cp-Cv = R,
Cp = R+Cv.
Where R is a specific gas constant which is positive so Cp is greater than Cv.
Cp-Cv = R,
Cp = R+Cv.
Where R is a specific gas constant which is positive so Cp is greater than Cv.
