For the adiabatic definition, I think that means constant entropy, not enthalpy. see http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/AdiabaticBulkModulus.html Ojcit 20:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dead links

Links to hyperphysics.phy-aster.gsu.edu are non-existant. These links are located in the reference section of the page.

Currently reads http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html, and comes out at the front of the site. Would be useful to embed the link deeper into the site.

[edit] Nomenclature

Is there any special reason for calling this K? B also seems common. —DIV (128.250.204.118 09:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Bulk modulus (B) Compressibility (K)

Sorry to the person who did the bulk of the writing on this page, but you've got the symbols backward. B is for bulk modulus and K is for compressibility. When I get some time, I will try to repair the damage, but it's going to take a lot of work as the error is spread across several pages. Elert 20:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)elert
