Heat Capacity Ratio Using Degrees of Freedom

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 sum of the degrees of freedom and 2 divided by the degrees of freedom.

Formula

QuantityVariable["γ", "HeatCapacityRatio"] == (2 + QuantityVariable["f", "Unitless"])/QuantityVariable["f", "Unitless"]
