Thermodynamic Properties and the Velocity of Sound

  • Chapter
Experimental Thermodynamics Volume II

Abstract

The measurement of the velocity of sound in fluids provides a means for obtaining some equilibrium thermodynamic data which are not readily accessible by other experimental methods. The unique feature of sound propagation is the fact that, in the large majority of the experimental situations, it is an adiabatic process: sound velocity data give direct and precise information on the adiabatic properties of the fluid.
