Gas Properties: Specific Volume, Viscosity, and Compressibility

Specific Volume (v) is the volume occupied by a unit mass of material. It is the inverse of density and does not depend on the amount of matter. For example, two pieces of iron with different sizes have different weights and volumes, but their specific gravities are equal. This is independent of the material amount. Examples of intensive properties include boiling point, brightness, color, hardness, and melting point.
