Heat Capacity Ratio - Adiabatic Process

Adiabatic Process

See also: Adiabatic process and polytropic process

This ratio gives the important relation for an isentropic (quasistatic, reversible, adiabatic process) process of a simple compressible calorically perfect ideal gas:

where is the pressure and is the volume.
