system.thermo.if97.compressibility

Calculates isothermal compressibility.

Syntax

system.thermo.if97.compressibility(p, t) # Pressure and Temperature
system.thermo.if97.compressibility(p, h) # Pressure and Enthalpy
system.thermo.if97.compressibility(p, s) # Pressure and Entropy
system.thermo.if97.compressibility(h, s) # Enthalpy and Entropy
info

This function must be called with named parameters.

Parameters

TypeParameterDescription

Returns

Double - Isothermal Compressibility (1/Pa)

A measure of a substance's change in volume in response to pressure changes at constant temperature.

Scope

Gateway, Designer, Client, Perspective Session

Example

Pressure and Temperature

p = 800000
t = 475
result = system.thermo.if97.compressibility(p=p, t=t) # Call correct overload
print result
