Fluid Compressibility is a function of temperature and pressure :
c = c(T, p) |
The multi-phase fluid compressibility is a linear sum of compressibilities of its phases (see multi-phase fluid compressibility @ model).
There is no universal analytical model for Fluid Compressibility but there is a good number of approximations which can be effectively used in engineering practice.
