Specific Volume Calculator
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.
