The formula to calculate Specific Volume (V) is:
\[ V = \frac{v}{m} \]
Where:
Specific Volume is a measure of the total volume per unit mass. In other words, it is the inverse of density. This concept is crucial in fields such as thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Specific Volume:
\[ V = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5 \, \text{m}^3/\text{kg} \]
This demonstrates that with a volume of 2 m3 and a mass of 4 kg, the specific volume would be 0.5 m3/kg.
