1. Compressibilitynoun

   The quality of being compressible; the quality of admitting to be brought by force into a narrower compass; as air may be compressed, but water can by no violence be reduced to less space than it naturally occupies.

   Etymology: from compressible.

1. Compressibility

   In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, the compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility or, if the temperature is held constant, the isothermal compressibility) is a measure of the instantaneous relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change. In its simple form, the compressibility κ {\displaystyle \kappa } (denoted β in some fields) may be expressed as β = − 1 V ∂ V ∂ p {\displaystyle \beta =-{\frac {1}{V}}{\frac {\partial V}{\partial p}}} ,where V is volume and p is pressure. The choice to define compressibility as the negative of the fraction makes compressibility positive in the (usual) case that an increase in pressure induces a reduction in volume. The reciprocal of compressibility at fixed temperature is called the isothermal bulk modulus.

1. compressibility

   Compressibility is a measure of the relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure change. In other words, it is the extent to which a substance can be compressed or compacted, reducing its volume. It's a key property in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, particularly for gases which are highly compressible compared to liquids and solids.
