Noun

volume (plural volumes)

  1. A unit of three dimensional measure of space that comprises a length, a width and a height. It is measured in units of cubic centimeters in metric, cubic inches or cubic feet in English measurement. (The room is 9x12x8, so its volume is 864 cubic feet.)
  2. Strength of sound. Measured in decibels. (Please turn down the volume on the stereo.)
  3. The issues of a periodical over a period of one year. (I looked at this week's copy of the magazine. It was volume 23, issue 45.)
  4. A single book of a publication issued in multi-book format, such as an encyclopedia. (The letter "G" was found in volume 4.)
  5. A synonym for quantity. (The volume of ticket sales decreased this week.)
  6. (economics) The total supply of money in circulation or, less frequently, total amount of credit extended, within a specified national market or worldwide.
  7. (computing) An accessible storage area with a single file system, typically resident on a single partition of a hard disk.

Volume is how much three-dimensional space a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains, often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic metre. The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container, i. e. the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces.

Three dimensional mathematical shapes are also assigned volumes. Volumes of some simple shapes, such as regular, straight-edged, and circular shapes can be easily calculated using arithmetic formulas. The volumes of more complicated shapes can be calculated by integral calculus if a formula exists for the shape's boundary. One-dimensional figures (such as lines) and two-dimensional shapes (such as squares) are assigned zero volume in the three-dimensional space.

The volume of a solid (whether regularly or irregularly shaped) can be determined by fluid displacement. Displacement of liquid can also be used to determine the volume of a gas. The combined volume of two substances is usually greater than the volume of one of the substances. However, sometimes one substance dissolves in the other and the combined volume is not additive.

In differential geometry, volume is expressed by means of the volume form, and is an important global Riemannian invariant. In thermodynamics, volume is a fundamental parameter, and is a conjugate variable to pressure.

What is the volume of the hot gas leaving a cyclinder after combustion?
Q. I'm looking for the ratio of (V2 / V1) where V1 = volume of gasoiline in a cylinder before combustion and V2 is the volume of hot gas when it leaves the cylinder after combustion. I'm looking for this ratio for a typical engine at sea level. For V1, I need the actual volume of gasoiline, not the air or air/fuel ratio. I tried to ask this in the engineering section and got 3 answers from people who could not understand the my definitions of V1 and V2. One guy thought gas means gasoiline. NOT.

A. This is really going to be difficult to answer, because gasoline is not in the gaseous state before ignition. Instead it is an aerosol (or very tiny droplets of liquid suspended in air). Aerosols do not follow the PV=nRT rules. You could back in to the volume by other means, For example, say a 4 cylinder car gets 30 mpg at 60 mph with an engine speed of 2000 rpm. In one hour, you would have burned 2 gallons of gas, assuming each cylinder gets the same amount of gas, there would be 0.5 gallons burned in each cylinder. During this time, the engine would have turned 2000 x 60 revolutions (120,000). So each stroke for each cylinder would have been 0.5/12000, or 4.167e(-6) gallons. This would be a good estimate for the volume of… [cont.]

What happens to volume of a gas sample if the number of moles of a gas is doubled under constant temperature a
Q. What happens to volume of a gas sample if the number of moles of a gas is doubled under constant temperature and pressure? Would the gas volume be doubled? Or does it decrease by half? I thought maybe it even stayed stable?
Asked by decemberkitty02 - Sun Nov 11 21:45:56 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. PV=nRT where T and P are constant, and you double the moles, you will double the volume because volume and moles are directly proportional.

How do you get volume while watching movies on a laptop?
Q. I have the HP Compaq CQ60 - 214EM laptop, and can't get volume for movies. I have movies on my computer, andevery time I try to play them, I have no volume. I even went and bought speakers, but still no volume. The volume is up full, and the volume on the speakers, but still no sound, only a crackling sound. Please help!
