Consider the piston cylinder arrangement and supply heat to it.

In constant pressure process piston is free to move as p is constant so drag force is neglected it means there will be increase in internal energy and boundary work.

In constant volume process: All the energy will be used to raise the internal energy as the boundary work is zero.

So cp is greater then cv always.

The value of cp always greater than cv because the relationship is cp - cv = R.

Cp/Cv is greater than 1 so, Cp gerater than Cv.

Cp = Cv for liquids.
And Cp>Cv for gases.

Cp = R+Cv.
CP = 1.00 kJ/kg.K.
Cv = 0.718 kJ/kg.K.
