In thermodynamics, the specific volume of a substance is the ratio of the substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density and an intrinsic property of matter as well. Specific volume is defined as the number of cubic meters occupied by one kilogram of a particular substance. The standard unit is the meter cubed per kilogram (m 3 /kg or m.:
Specific volume for an ideal gas is also equal to the gas constant (R) multiplied by the temperature and then divided by the pressure and the molecular mass.
Typically, the specific volume of a substance is expressed in terms such as , , , or .[1]
Specific volume is commonly applied to:
Imagine a variable-volume, airtight chamber containing a certain number of atoms of oxygen gas. Consider the following four examples:
Specific volume is a property of materials, defined as the number of cubic meters occupied by one kilogram of a particular substance. The standard unit is the meter cubed per kilogram (m3/kg or m3·kg−1).
Sometimes specific volume is expressed in terms of the number of cubic centimeters occupied by one gram of a substance. In this case, the unit is the centimeter cubed per gram (cm3/g or cm3·g−1). To convert m3/kg to cm3/g, multiply by 1000; conversely, multiply by 0.001.
Specific volume is inversely proportional to density. If the density of a substance doubles, its specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, is cut in half. If the density drops to 1/10 its former value, the specific volume, as expressed in the same base units, increases by a factor of 10.
The density of gases changes with even slight variations in temperature, while densities of liquid and solids, which are generally thought of as incompressible, will change very little. Specific volume is the inverse of the density of a substance; therefore, careful consideration must be taken account when dealing with situations that involve gases. Small changes in temperature will have a noticeable effect on specific volumes.
The chart below is a visual representation of the relationship between specific volume and temperature. As stated above, specific volume varies noticeably with changes in temperature while the gas phase.
The average density of human blood is 1060 kg/m^3. The specific volume that correlates to that density is 0.00094 m^3/kg. Notice that the average specific volume of blood is almost identical to that of water: 0.00100 m^3/kg.[2]
If one sets out to determine the specific volume of an ideal gas, such as super heated steam, using the equation where pressure is 2500 lbf/in^2, R is 0.596, temperature is 1960 Rankin. In that case, the specific volume would equal 0.4672 in^3/lbm. However if the temperature is changed to 1160 Rankin, the specific volume of the super heated steam would have changed to 0.2765 in^3/lbm, which is a 59% overall change.
Knowing the specific volumes of two or more substances allows one to find useful information for certain applications. For a substance X with a specific volume of 0.657 cm^3/g and a substance Y with a specific volume 0.374 cm^3/g, the density of each substance can be found by taking the inverse of the specific volume; therefore, substance X has a density of 1.522 g/cm^3 and substance Y has a density of 2.673 g/cm^3. With this information, the specific gravities of each substance relative to one another can be found. The specific gravity of substance X with respect to Y is 0.569, while the specific gravity of Y with respect to X is 1.756. Therefore, substance X will not sink if placed on Y.[3]
The table below displays densities and specific volumes for various common substances that may be useful. The values were recorded at Standard Temperature and Pressure, which is defined as air at 0 °C (273.15 K, 32 °F) and 1 atm (101.325 kN/m2, 101.325 kPa, 14.7 psia, 0 psig, 30 in Hg, 760 torr).[4]
