Cp/Cv is termed as__________________?

Correct answer: A. Adiabatic constant

  • A. Adiabatic constant
  • B. Mach number
  • C. Weber number
  • D. Prandtl number

Explanation

The ratio of heat capacities, Cp/Cv, is denoted by gamma and is called the adiabatic index or adiabatic constant. Mach, Weber, and Prandtl numbers are dimensionless flow or transport parameters, not heat-capacity ratios.
