Cp/Cv = r = 1.4.

I have a doubt, the ratio of specific of gas at a constant pressure and constant volume is constant or varying.

Why it is 1.33 and 1.40?
I have answer for 1.67 but not for those. Will anyone explain me?

Cp is alway greater than Cv.

Cp will be greater than cv because at constant pressure some work is to be due to displacement of piston whereas in constant volume the piston remains in its same place, therefore, no work is done.
So, cp will greater than cv that's why it is greater than 1.
So, cp will greater than cv that's why it is greater than 1.

Cp/Cv =gamma >0.

Because cv is always greater than 1.

cp/cv = Gamma = 1.4 = Constant.

At constant volume the heat is directly increase the temperature but at constant pressure heat is given to the system then temp is increased and also expand so some heat is extra needed.
