Abstract

THE constant, γ, relating the principal specific heats of a gas may be determined directly by a number of classical methods involving adiabatic expansions, the most reliable of which are the determination of the velocity of sound in the gas (Kundt's method) and the observation of adiabatic variations in gas pressure and temperature (Clément and Desormes, Lummer and Pringsheim's methods respectively).
