Talk:Specific volume

There is a much more descriptive section in that page for specific volume. Instead of this basically empty page with no sources, it should just redirect there instead... 67.165.206.187 (talk) 21:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

This article states the Ideal Gas Law is PV = mRT. Click on the link to ideal gas and there the Ideal Gas Law is PV = nRT. In the first case m is a mass and in the second case n is the number of moles. The problem relates to the constant R which should be the specific gas constant in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.225.222 (talk) 18:20, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

This term is a recent obfuscation by engineers who apparently are not comfortable with the simplicity of using density. In the past, small v referred to the "molar volume" , v=V/N, which has more useful meaning in derivation; not simply creating a pointless extra engineering variable as nothing more than the inverse of the density.Wikibearwithme (talk) 04:00, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Do you have a reference for this? RJFJR (talk) 17:49, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Orders of magnitude (specific volume). Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 22:54, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
