| 21. | In thermodynamics, the "'specific volume "'of a substance is the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass.
|
| 22. | Gases are compressible, thus their volumes ( and specific volumes ) may be subject to change during thermodynamic processes.
|
| 23. | At the same time, it is easy to see that the specific volume decreases or similarly the density increases.
|
| 24. | Sometimes specific volume is expressed in terms of the number of cubic centimeters occupied by one gram of a substance.
|
| 25. | (where s is the specific entropy, v is the specific volume, and M is the molar mass ) to obtain
|
| 26. | These all are derived from the physical P-alpha-diagram which combines pressure and specific volume ( alpha ) as basic coordinates.
|
| 27. | Recalling that v is the specific volume, u the flow speed, s the specific entropy, the corresponding jacobian matrix is:
|
| 28. | The reciprocal of the density of a substance is occasionally called its specific volume, a term sometimes used in thermodynamics.
|
| 29. | If the density of a substance doubles, its specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, is cut in half.
|
| 30. | Newer cases that have yet to be assigned a specific volume and page should use " " ( three underscores ).
