Cp/Cv = Gamma, which is the indices of the process and depends on the process. For isotropic process its 1.4, for polytropic process its n, for constant pressure process its zero, for constant volume process its infinite, for constant temperature process its equal to 1.

cp/cv or Y always greater than 1.

Monoatomic gases Y = 5/3 like cr, ne, he.

Diatomic Y = 7/5 or 1.4 like o2, n2, h2.

Triatomic or polyatomic Y = 4/3 or 1.33 like so2, co2.

Cp is always greater than Cv, R = Cp>Cv

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.

Since cp > cv & R = cp/cv.

So R(cp/cv) is always greater than 1.

@Prasanth.

Why so? Why Cp is always greater than Cv?

Prasanth said:   1 decade ago
Because Cp is always greater than Cv.

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

Justify the equation :
y = cp/cv = 1.14.

Cp-Cv = R where R is gas constant.
