Heat Capacity Ratio Using Heat Capacities

The heat capacity ratio is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.

The heat capacity ratio equals the ratio of isobaric heat capacity to the isochoric heat capacity.

Formula

QuantityVariable["γ", "HeatCapacityRatio"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "p"], "HeatCapacity"]/QuantityVariable[Subscript["C", "V"], "HeatCapacity"]

symbol description physical quantity
γ heat capacity ratio "HeatCapacityRatio"
Cp isobaric heat capacity "HeatCapacity"
CV isochoric heat capacity "HeatCapacity"
