Thermodynamics Properties in brief

Thermodynamics properties can be mainly classified as :
  1. Intensive Properties
  2. Extensive Properties
• Intensive properties are those that are independent of the amount of mass.
• Extensive properties are those that vary directly with the mass.

Specific volume  is the total volume (V) of a substance divided by the
total mass (m) of that substance.

Density is the total mass (m) of a substance divided by the total
volume (V) occupied by that substance.

Specific gravity (S.G.) is a measure of the relative density of a substance
as compared to the density of water at a standard temperature.

Humidity is the amount of moisture (water vapor) in the air. It can be
measured in absolute or relative units.
