Why Cp>Cv ?? |
| Answer» Cp refers to contt pressure and Cv refers to constt volume.When pressure is constt then the heat given to the system is used in two ways:i) in raising the temperature ii)in expansion or in raising the volume.While in constt volume the total heat given to the system is used only in rising the the temperature. Hence Cp>Cv. | |
