…isothermal compressibility, β_T, or the adiabatic compressibility, β_S, according to circumstance. When an element of fluid is compressed, the work done on it tends to heat it up. If the heat has time to drain away to the surroundings and the temperature of the fluid remains essentially unchanged throughout, then…
