Q.
The ratio of specific heats for oxygen is 1.4. Density of oxygen at STP =1.44kg/m3. If atmospheric pressure is 1.013×105N/m2, the specific heat at constant volume is:
Given: CVCP=1.4,T=273K ?(i) p=1.013×105N/m2ρ=1.44kg/m3 So, V=1.441m3 Also from Mayers formula, CP−CV=R=TPV ?(ii) Putting the given values in Eq. (ii) and from Eq. (i) 1.4CV−CV=1.44×2731.013×105×10.4CV=257.7CV=644.25J/kg−K
