  2. Bulk modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus

    When the gas is not ideal, these equations give only an approximation of the bulk modulus. In a fluid, the bulk modulus K {\displaystyle K} and the density ρ {\displaystyle \rho } determine the speed of sound c {\displaystyle c} ( pressure waves ), according to the Newton-Laplace formula

  3. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    The Van der Waals equation is an example of an equation of state for a realistic gas. ... For ordinary materials, the bulk compressibility (sum of the linear ...

  4. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    In gas dynamics we are interested in the local relations between pressure, density and temperature, rather than considering a fixed quantity of gas. By considering the density ρ = M / V {\displaystyle \rho =M/V} as the inverse of the volume for a unit mass, we can take ρ = 1 / V {\displaystyle \rho =1/V} in these relations.

  5. Relations between heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relations_between_heat...

    Substituting from the ideal gas equation gives finally: = where n = number of moles of gas in the thermodynamic system under consideration and R = universal gas constant. On a per mole basis, the expression for difference in molar heat capacities becomes simply R for ideal gases as follows:

  6. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    In physics, the thermal equation of state is a mathematical expression of pressure P, temperature T, and, volume V.The thermal equation of state for ideal gases is the ideal gas law, expressed as PV=nRT (where R is the gas constant and n the amount of substance), while the thermal equation of state for solids is expressed as:

  7. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    If one sets out to determine the specific volume of an ideal gas, such as super heated steam, using the equation ν = RT/P, where pressure is 2500 lbf/in 2, R is 0.596, temperature is 1960 °R. In that case, the specific volume would equal 0.4672 in 3 /lb.

  8. Fermi gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_gas

    A Fermi gas is an idealized model, ... the electron degeneracy pressure contributes to the compressibility or bulk modulus of the material ... the equations of ...

  9. Gassmann's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gassmann's_equation

    where () and () are the rock bulk moduli saturated with fluid 1 and fluid 2, () and () are the bulk moduli of the fluids themselves, and is the rock's porosity. Step 3: Leave the shear modulus unchanged (rigidity is independent of fluid type):
