Because Cp has two functions:-
1-To change the internal energy dU.
2-To do work dW in expanding the gas.
Where as Cv has only one function of changing the internal energy of the gas....by Hamoud Seif

Why the value of cp and cv is different for different gases?
Cp=cv
How do you derive the equation cp-cv equals R?
cp-cv =R proved that//
Why Cp is greater Cv?
Because Cp has two functions:- 1-To change the internal energy dU. 2-To do work dW in expanding the gas. Where as Cv has only one function of changing the internal energy of the gas..by awais
What Cv and Cp of air?

Why cp and cv have different values?
Cv is a for a constant volume, and there is therefore no work done in the expansion whereas as Cp accounts for the work done by the gas during its expansion, as well as the change in its internal energy. Thusly Cp is generally bigger than Cv. Intuitively this would be very simple to work out yourself. We used to have to work this out ourselves back in my day, not just resort to cheap answers on the interweb.
When is equivalent variation greater than the Compensated variation When also is compensated variation be greater than the equivalent variation?
When goods are normal, CV > EV.
Does the relation Cp minus Cv equal R hold true for solids and liquids Why or why not?
No, this relation is ONLY for ideal gases. The difference between Cp and Cv can be written more generally as T*(dP/dT)v*(dV/dT)p, where the lower case v and p represent the derivatives taken at constant volume and pressure, respectively. If you take these two derivatives using the ideal gas law (PV=nRT), then the result simplifies to Cp-Cv=R. However, solids and liquids do not follow the ideal gas law, and the difference between Cp and Cv is much smaller... negligible in many cases. For solids, Cp-Cv can be calculated using the isobaric expansivity, isothermal compressibility, and density of the material.
Give expression for efficiency of dual cycle?
= 1 - qout/qin = 1 - cv(T4-T1)/(cv(Tx-T2)+cp(T3-Tx))
Explain how you can determine the atomicity of a gas?
To find the atomicity of an ideal gas you can use γ = Cp/Cv.
What is Mayer's formula?
Cp-Cv is the relation of Mayer's formula. It can also be defined in words as the difference between two specific heat capacities.
Why is water more viscous than ether?
Diethyl alcohol does not exsist.Viscosity ofDiethyl ether, which is ethoxyethane (C2H5OC2H5), is 0.224 cP at 25°CEthyl alcohol, which is hydroxyethane (C2H5OH), is 1.074 cP at 25°CThe 2nd being greater because of more intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
How do you prove the Potential density equation?
(rho/potential_density) = (p/reference pressure)^(1/gamma) where gamma is the ratio of specific heats Cp/Cv = 1.40.
