Speed of Sound in an Ideal Gas
The speed of sound depends on the material, and for its computation from (14.10) one needs to know the thermal and caloric equations of state. Here, we determine the speed of sound for an ideal gas. Starting point is, again, the Gibbs equation, together with the caloric equation of state, h = h (T ) = { cpdT ,
