What is Bulk Modulus of Elasticity?

The Bulk Modulus Elasticity - or Volume Modulus - is a material property characterizing the compressibility of a fluid - how easy a unit volume of a fluid can be changed when changing the pressure working upon it.

How to Calculate Bulk Modulus of Elasticity?

Bulk Modulus of Elasticity calculator uses Bulk Modulus of Elasticity = (Change in Pressure/(Change in Volume/Fluid Volume)) to calculate the Bulk Modulus of Elasticity, The Bulk Modulus of Elasticity formula is defined as the measure of the incremental change in pressure dp which takes place when a volume V of the fluid is changed by an incremental amount dV. Since a rise in pressure always causes a decrease in volume, dV is always negative, and the minus sign is included in the equation to give a positive value of K. Bulk Modulus of Elasticity is denoted by K symbol.

How to calculate Bulk Modulus of Elasticity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bulk Modulus of Elasticity, enter Change in Pressure (ΔP), Change in Volume (dV) & Fluid Volume (V_f) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bulk Modulus of Elasticity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2000 = (100/(5/100)).

FAQ

What is Bulk Modulus of Elasticity?

The Bulk Modulus of Elasticity formula is defined as the measure of the incremental change in pressure dp which takes place when a volume V of the fluid is changed by an incremental amount dV. Since a rise in pressure always causes a decrease in volume, dV is always negative, and the minus sign is included in the equation to give a positive value of K and is represented as K = (ΔP/(dV/V_f)) or Bulk Modulus of Elasticity = (Change in Pressure/(Change in Volume/Fluid Volume)). Change in Pressure is defined as the difference between final pressure and initial pressure. In differential form it is represented as dP, Change in Volume is the change in volume of the fluid & The Fluid Volumeis the space occupied by the fluid.

How to calculate Bulk Modulus of Elasticity?

The Bulk Modulus of Elasticity formula is defined as the measure of the incremental change in pressure dp which takes place when a volume V of the fluid is changed by an incremental amount dV. Since a rise in pressure always causes a decrease in volume, dV is always negative, and the minus sign is included in the equation to give a positive value of K is calculated using Bulk Modulus of Elasticity = (Change in Pressure/(Change in Volume/Fluid Volume)). To calculate Bulk Modulus of Elasticity, you need Change in Pressure (ΔP), Change in Volume (dV) & Fluid Volume (V_f). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Change in Pressure, Change in Volume & Fluid Volume and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
