Question:

The cold air standard value of γ = 1.4 was based on the heat capacity of a diatomic gas with no vibrational excitation (see §9), CV = 5/2 nR and Cp = CV + nR. In reality, the heat capacity increases with increased temperature, and γ decreases accordingly. If we assume, however, that CV is independent of temperature through the cycle and that Cp = CV + nR remains valid, what value of CV is required for γ = 1.3?
