It is sometimes also known as the isentropic expansion factor and ratio of specific heats, and is denoted by γ (gamma) or κ (kappa). The latter symbol kappa is primarily used by chemical engineers. where, C is the heat capacity or the specific heat capacity of a gas, suffix P and...
where km is the ratio of specific heats cp/cv of the motive gas; ki is the ratio of specific heats cp/cv of the induced gas; k4 is the ratio of specific heats cp/cv of the mixed gases; Rm is the specific constant of the motive gas; Ri is the specific constant of the induced ga...
