Thermodynamic Compressibility

Compressibility, or a coefficient of compressibility, is a thermodynamic quantity that measures the relative volume change as a result of pressure or stress change. Like heat capacity, this quantity is also process-dependent, and most common examples are isothermal compressibility and isentropic compressibility.
