Just imagine an IC engine.

At Cv-volume is constant, so if you give the heat (Q) to this, the piston does not move until total heat is being supplied.

At Cp-pressure will be constant, so the same heat (Q) what you are giving to will do addition work i.e. the piston will move down in this case to keep the pressure constant in this case.

Therefore Cp>Cv.

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.
