NH3 Bulk Modulus????

NH3 Bulk Modulus????

NH3 Bulk Modulus????

(OP)
Does anybody know where I can find the bulk modulus for liquid ammonia.  Thank you.

RE: NH3 Bulk Modulus????

Erik,

Based on a celerity or speed of sound of 1729m/s in ammonia at -33 deg C and a liquid density of 680kg/m3 I back calculated the approximate bulk modulus K as 2.03 GPa.(approx 294,000PSI)

   C = Sqrt(K/density)  for a rigid pipe

I hope this helps
