Given the following equation:
Cp = Cv + R
Where Cp is specific heat (constant pressure), Cv is specific heat (constant volume), and R is the universal gas constant.
However, my book states that for an incompressible fluid, Cp = Cv.
How can this be the case given the above equation? R is a constant for any given fluid, so why is is zero for an incompressible fluid?
