For an ideal gas, the internal energy is a function only of temperature, so that dU = CvdT can always be applied. I am not sure whether dH=CP dT is also always true even the pressure is not constant.
For an ideal gas, it is. dH = dU + d(pV) = dU + RdT=(Cv+R)dTFor an ideal gas, the internal energy is a function only of temperature, so that dU = CvdT can always be applied. I am not sure whether dH=CP dT is also always true even the pressure is not constant.
