How to Calculate Adiabatic Index?
Adiabatic Index calculator uses Heat Capacity Ratio = Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure/Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume to calculate the Heat Capacity Ratio, The adiabatic index, the ratio of specific heats, or Laplace's coefficient,is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) to heat capacity at constant volume (Cv). It is sometimes also known as the isentropic expansion factor and is denoted by γ (gamma) for an ideal gas. Heat Capacity Ratio is denoted by γ symbol.
How to calculate Adiabatic Index using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Adiabatic Index, enter Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure (Cp molar) & Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume (Cv molar) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Adiabatic Index calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.184466 = 122/103.
