Homework Statement
Explain what is meant by the heat capacity at constant volume, CV, and the heat capacity at constant pressure, CP.
How are these two properties related for an ideal gas?
Why is CP generally greater than CV
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
heat capacity at constant volume- CV- as the heat input, Q, needed to warm a body, divided by the corresponding temperature rise , where the temperaute rise is small, and the heating is carried out at constant volume
heat capacity at constant pressure, CP. As the heat input, Q, needed to warm a body, divided by the corresponding temperature rise, where the temperaute rise is small, and the heating is carried out at constant pressure,
CV- theortical importance
cp- practical importance
