  2. Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

    If the volumetric expansion coefficient does change appreciably with temperature, or the increase in volume is significant, then the above equation will have to be integrated: ⁡ (+) = = ⁡ (()) where () is the volumetric expansion coefficient as a function of temperature T, and and are the initial and final temperatures respectively.

  3. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1]

  4. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    where γ is the heat capacity ratio, α is the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion, ρ = N/V is the particle density, and = (/) is the thermal pressure coefficient. In an extensive thermodynamic system, the application of statistical mechanics shows that the isothermal compressibility is also related to the relative size of fluctuations ...

  5. Grashof number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grashof_number

    β is the coefficient of volume expansion (equal to approximately 1/T for ideal gases) T s is the surface temperature; T ∞ is the bulk temperature; L is the vertical length; D is the diameter; ν is the kinematic viscosity. The L and D subscripts indicate the length scale basis for the Grashof number.

  6. Grüneisen parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grüneisen_parameter

    Some formulations for the Grüneisen parameter include: = = = = = (⁡ ⁡) where V is volume, and are the principal (i.e. per-mass) heat capacities at constant pressure and volume, E is energy, S is entropy, α is the volume thermal expansion coefficient, and are the adiabatic and isothermal bulk moduli, is the speed of sound in the medium ...

  7. Volume viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_viscosity

    This coefficient of proportionality is called volume viscosity. Common symbols for volume viscosity are ζ {\displaystyle \zeta } and μ v {\displaystyle \mu _{v}} . Volume viscosity appears in the classic Navier-Stokes equation if it is written for compressible fluid , as described in most books on general hydrodynamics [ 6 ] [ 1 ] and acoustics.

  8. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    In the first, constant-volume case (locked piston), there is no external motion, and thus no mechanical work is done on the atmosphere; C V is used. In the second case, additional work is done as the volume changes, so the amount of heat required to raise the gas temperature (the specific heat capacity) is higher for this constant-pressure case.

  9. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

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

    To distinguish these two thermal expansion equations of state, the latter one is called pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state. To deveop the pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state, in an compression process at room temperature from (V 0, T 0, P 0) to (V 1, T 0,P 1), a general form of volume is expressed as
