A measure of relative media density \rho change due to a unit temperature T variation:
(1) | \alpha_V = \frac{1}{\rho} \left( \frac{\partial \rho}{\partial T} \right)_p |
Symbol | Dimension | SI units | Oil metric units | Oil field units |
---|---|---|---|---|
\alpha_V | Θ-1 | K-1 | °C -1 | °F -1 |
For the Ideal Gas: \alpha_V = \frac{1}{T}.
