Compressibility of the fluid with density
\rho and molar volume
V_m as a function of temperature
T and pressure
p:
| (1) | c(T,p) = \frac{1}{\rho} \left( \frac{\partial \rho}{\partial p} \right)_T = - \frac{1}{V_m} \left( \frac{\partial V_m}{\partial p} \right)_T |
Classification

Mathematical models of Fluid Compressibility are reviewed in Fluid Compressibility @model.
The multi-phase fluid compressibility is a linear sum of compressibilities of its phases (see multi-phase fluid compressibility @ model).
