Specific Gas Constant in Compressible Flow Formulas

The Specific Gas Constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass of the gas or mixture. And is denoted by R. Specific Gas Constant is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K for Specific Heat Capacity. Note that the value of Specific Gas Constant is always positive. Typically, the value of Specific Gas Constant is greater than 0.

FAQ

What is the Specific Gas Constant?

The Specific Gas Constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass of the gas or mixture. Specific Gas Constant is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K for Specific Heat Capacity. Note that the value of Specific Gas Constant is always positive. Typically, the value of Specific Gas Constant is greater than 0.

Can the Specific Gas Constant be negative?

No, the Specific Gas Constant, measured in Specific Heat Capacity cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Specific Gas Constant?

Specific Gas Constant is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram per K[J/(kg*K)] for Specific Heat Capacity. Joule per Kilogram per Celcius[J/(kg*K)], Kilojoule per Kilogram per K[J/(kg*K)], Kilojoule per Kilogram per Celcius[J/(kg*K)] are the few other units in which Specific Gas Constant can be measured.
