Speed Of Sound In Gases

The speed of sound in an ideal gas can be represented by the equation:

   v = √[γRT/M]

where
     M = molecular weight of the gas (air = 28.95)
     T = temperature of gas in absolute unit
     R = universal gas constant (= 8314 J/kmol.K)
     γ = adiabatic constant = ratio of specific heats of the gas (air = 1.4)

Tips

    ◊ Use link EXAMPLE Of Input/Output  to demo data entry expectations and results; you may edit & use it as starting point
