n2:IsentropicExponent

dcterms:description

The specific heat ratio of a gas is the ratio of the specific heat at constant pressure, \(c_p\), to the specific heat at constant volume, \(c_V\). It is sometimes referred to as the "adiabatic index} or the \textit{heat capacity ratio} or the \textit{isentropic expansion factor} or the \textit{adiabatic exponent} or the \textit{isentropic exponent".
