The Adiabatic Index calculator computes the adiabatic index (γ) also known as the heat capacity ratio or ratio of specific heats. 

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose your preferred units and enter the following:

  • (CP)  This is the heat capacitance at constant pressure.
  • (CV) This is the heat capacitance at constant volume.

Adiabatic Index: The calculator returns the Adiabatic Index (γ).

General Information

The adiabatic index is a ratio of the heat capacity at a constant pressure to the heat capacity at a constant volume.
