Fluid bulk modulus: addition of air
We can express the bulk modulus with the volume V as:
This gives for the fluid:
Or if we apply the previous relation to the {liquid+vapor} and to the air, we obtain:
The air volumetric fraction Φ is defined as:
And we can write the bulk modulus as
Equation 17: Fluid bulk modulus at P and T
With:
| Case | Fluid bulk modulus B_fluid | |
|---|---|---|
| Case 1: | P > PHvap | |
| Case 2: | PLvap < P < PHvap | |
| Case 3: | P < PLvap |
