Talk:Specific volume

Redirect to Volume (thermodynamics)

There is a much more descriptive section in that page for specific volume. Instead of this basically empty page with no sources, it should just redirect there instead... 67.165.206.187 (talk) 21:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ideal Gas Law Stated Incorrectly

This article states the Ideal Gas Law is PV = mRT. Click on the link to ideal gas and there the Ideal Gas Law is PV = nRT. In the first case m is a mass and in the second case n is the number of moles. The problem relates to the constant R which should be the specific gas constant in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.225.222 (talk) 18:20, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

need units! ideal gas formula, temp is in C? or k?

perversion of terminology by engineers

This term is a recent obfuscation by engineers who apparently are not comfortable with the simplicity of using density. In the past, small v referred to the "molar volume" , v=V/N, which has more useful meaning in derivation; not simply creating a pointless extra engineering variable as nothing more than the inverse of the density.Wikibearwithme (talk) 04:00, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
