Thermal Expansion and Pressure Coefficients
Thermal Expansion and Pressure Coefficients
quantities that characterize the change in volume V or pressure ρ in the equation of state of a thermodynamic system as a function of pressure ρ or temperature T in a given thermodynamic process. Examples of such coefficients include the isothermal compression coefficient, or isothermal compressibility
![]()
the adiabatic compression coefficient, or adiabatic compressibility
![]()
the isochoric thermal pressure coefficient
![]()
and the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient
