W = Pdv in constant volume process work done is 0 and only increasing the internal energy but in constant pressure process internal energy increase and work also done on the system.

cp/cv = 1.14.

This value is constant.

We denoted it by gama.

@Ambika: The above said is for gas. And it varies with the medium and composition.

Anandprakash said:   1 decade ago
Ratio of cp and cv is greater then one because value of cp is greater then cv.

Mandar said:   1 decade ago
It is given that the ratio of cp/cv=R which is consatant and value is 1.14 which is constant.

Rathod said:   1 decade ago
And r = 1.14 is for air not for all gases. But r>1.

cp/cv = 5/3 = 1.6 this for monoatomic particle.

cp/cv = 7/5 = 1.4 this for diatomic particle.

So, cp/cv = R where, R is molar mass.

R>1.

Divya said:   1 decade ago
Cp-Cv = R where R is gas constant.

Riko said:   1 decade ago
Justify the equation :
y = cp/cv = 1.14.

Cp/Cv = gama.
Which is greater than 1.
