Cp Cv Ratio
输入定压比热 c_p 与气体常数,求定容比热与比热比 γ。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Heat capacity ratio | γ = c_p/c_v | Thermodynamics |
| Mayer relation | c_p − c_v = R | Mayer relation |
| Degrees of freedom | γ = (f + 2)/f | Equipartition |
| Typical values | Monoatomic 5/3, diatomic 7/5 | Gas data |
| Temperature effect | γ drops as vibration activates | Statistical thermodynamics |
| Engineering use | Speed of sound √(γRT/M) | Gas dynamics |

| Molar gas constant R | 8.314462618 | J·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ | New SI (derived from exact N_A·k) |
| Mayer's relation | c_p − c_v = R (per mole) | — | Ideal-gas thermodynamic identity |
| γ for a monatomic ideal gas | 5/3 = 1.667 | — | Equipartition theorem (3 translational d.o.f.) |
| γ for a diatomic ideal gas | 7/5 = 1.400 | — | Equipartition theorem (3 translational + 2 rotational) |
| Gas constant of dry air R_a | 287.042 | J·kg⁻¹·K⁻¹ | Derived from R/M (CIPM 2007 dry-air M) |
Note: γ falls as temperature rises (vibrational modes become excited) and depends on pressure for real gases; this page defaults to air with c_p = 1005 and R = 287, giving γ ≈ 1.40.
