5 Questions
What does the coefficient of compressibility of a fluid represent?
The variation of pressure of a fluid with volume or density at constant temperature
Can the coefficient of compressibility of a fluid be negative?
No, it cannot be negative
What is viscosity?
A measure of the stickiness or resistance to deformation of a fluid
What does the coefficient of volume expansion of a fluid represent?
The variation of the density of a fluid with temperature at constant pressure
What is the difference between isothermal compressibility and coefficient of compressibility?
Isothermal compressibility represents the fractional change in volume or density corresponding to a change in pressure, while coefficient of compressibility represents the variation of pressure with volume or density at constant temperature.
Test your knowledge on intensive and extensive properties of fluids, coefficient of compressibility, and the differences between isothermal compressibility and coefficient of compressibility.
