A Specific Volume Calculator is a tool used to determine the specific volume of a substance, which is the volume occupied by a unit mass. It is commonly used in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and engineering.

Why Use It?

It helps in:

  • Thermodynamics: Understanding gas and steam behavior.
  • HVAC & Engineering: Designing air conditioning and refrigeration systems.
  • Aerospace & Fluid Dynamics: Analyzing the properties of gases and liquids.

How Does It Work?

Specific volume ( v) is calculated as:

Where:

  • v = Specific volume (m³/kg)
  • V = Total volume (m³)
  • m = Mass (kg)

For ideal gases, specific volume can also be calculated using the ideal gas law:

Where:

  • R = Specific gas constant
  • T = Temperature (K)
  • P = Pressure (Pa)

When to Use It?

  • In Engineering & HVAC: To determine air and steam properties.
  • In Chemistry & Physics: To study gas laws and material properties.
  • In Aerospace & Automotive: To analyze fuel and air mixtures.
