Calculate Adiabatic Index





Formula

The formula to calculate the Adiabatic Index (γ) is:

\[ \gamma = \frac{C_{p \, \text{molar}}}{C_{v \, \text{molar}}} \]

Definition

The Heat Capacity Ratio, also known as the adiabatic index, is the ratio of specific heats, i.e., the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to the heat capacity at constant volume.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \gamma = \frac{122}{103} \approx 1.18446601941748 \]

The Adiabatic Index is approximately 1.18446601941748.
