Specific Heat Ideal Gases: F (20 C) and 14.7 Psia (1 Atm) )

The document provides a table listing the specific heat values at constant pressure (cp) and constant volume (cv), their ratio (cp/cv), and the individual gas constant (R) for various common gases at 68°F and 14.7 psia. The table includes gases such as air, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and others. It provides both metric and English units for each property.
