sp_volume: Specific Volume

In iemisc: Irucka Embry's Miscellaneous Functions

Specific Volume

Description

This function solves for the specific volume of a substance using only the substance's density

Usage

sp_volume(rho)

Arguments

rho	numeric vector that contains the density

Details

The equation is expressed as

\\nu = \frac{1}{\\rho}

\rho

substance density (mass divided by volume) [kg/m^3, slug/ft^3", or lbm/ft^3]

Value

the specific volume as a numeric vector

# Examples

library(iemisc)

rho1 <- density_water(Temp = 68, units = "Eng", Eng_units = "slug/ft^3")

sp_volume(rho = rho1) # slug/ft^3


rho2 <- density_water(Temp = 68, units = "Eng", Eng_units = "lbm/ft^3")

sp_volume(rho = rho2) # lbm/ft^3


rho3 <- density_water(Temp = 20, units = "SI")

sp_volume(rho = rho3) # kg / m^3
