Pressure Wave Velocity in Fluids Calculator

Calculate Pressure Wave Velocity





Formula

The formula to calculate the Pressure Wave Velocity (C) is:

\[ C = \sqrt{\frac{K}{\rho}} \]

Definition

The Velocity of pressure wave is the velocity at which the pressure wave moves in the fluid and is also referred to as the velocity of sound.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ C = \sqrt{\frac{2000}{997}} \approx 1.41633966765126 \]

The Pressure Wave Velocity is approximately 1.41633966765126 m/s.
