Hi all,
I've been for quite a while trying to identify this formula.
dV / V = β ΔT - κ Δp
where β is the thermal coefficient of volume expansion and κ is the isothermal compressibility.
I think it's related to thermodynamics applied to solids and I can understand relations between the nominal variation of volume which is proportional to the difference in temperature. And likewise, its relation to an increase in pressure (external).
What I can't say is in what context we learn this, and in what book this formula is written.
Many thanks in advance!
