The Tait equation is an equation of state. The equation was originally published by Peter Guthrie Tait in 1888 [1][2][3]. It may be written as
or in the integrated form
where
- is the Isothermal compressibility
- is the specific volume.
- and are functions of temperature that are independent of pressure.
It is quite common that this name is improperly used for the adiabatic form of the stiffened equation of state , which is the Cole equation of state . This perhaps stems for the classic text by Cole [4] calling this equation a "modified Tait equation" (p. 39).
