Calculate the gas constant, R, constant pressure specific heat, Cp, and constant volume specific heat, Cv, for air. Assume the average molecular weight of air is 28.97 kg/kmol and the ratio of specific heats Ī³ = 1.4.
Added by Randall E.
Step 1
The average molecular weight of air is M = 28.97 kg/kmol, and the ratio of specific heats is Ī³ = 1.4. The universal gas constant is Rāuā = 8.314 kJ/(kmolĀ·K). Show moreā¦

Specific Heat Calculate the specific heat at constant pressure (Cp) and the specific heat at constant volume (Cv) for air (lambda = 1.4). The gas constant is given as R = 8.31446 J/mol*K. Hint: Find the definition for the specific gas constant and the molar mass for air. For this one, I've been able to get Cp = 29.10061 J/mol-K and Cv = 20.786 J/mol-K.

'When a certain perfect gas is heated at constant pressure from 15 %C to 95 %C, the heat required is 1136 kJ. While when the same gas is heated at constant volume between the same temperature limit above the heat required is 808 kJ. Calculate cp,cv, Y R and molecular weight of the gas.'
