Adiabatic Bulk Modulus

Introduction to Adiabatic Bulk Modulus Calculator

The Adiabatic Bulk Modulus is a measure of a fluid's resistance to compression under adiabatic conditions. It is defined as the product of the fluid's pressure and its heat capacity ratio (gamma). In this formula, B represents the Adiabatic Bulk Modulus, pressure is the absolute pressure of the fluid, and gamma is the heat capacity ratio (Cp/Cv), which is greater than one. The result is expressed in the same units as the pressure.

Parameter usage:

• pressure= absolute pressure of the fluid
• gamma= heat capacity ratio

Example valid values:

• pressure= 101325 (1 atm in Pa)
• gamma= 1.4 (approximate value for air)

Output:

• bulk_modulus= adiabatic bulk modulus of the fluid

Data validation

Pressure must be greater than zero and Gamma must be greater than one to ensure the validity of calculations.

Summary

This calculator provides a quick method to estimate the adiabatic bulk modulus for a given set of conditions. It is particularly useful in the fields of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics.
