Detailed Solution

For the polytropic process PVn molar specific heat is given by   c = (γ-n)(1-n)Cv

When n>γ , C is positive

When n<1, C is positive.

When γ>n>1, C is negative

When n =1, C is infinity

When n=0,C is zero

In other words, C can have any real value, depending upon the type of thermodynamics process.
