Plural volumes

volume (plural volumes)

  1. A unit of three dimensional measure of space that comprises a length, a width and a height. It is measured in units of cubic centimeters in metric, cubic inches or cubic feet in English measurement. (The room is 9x12x8, so its volume is 864 cubic feet.)
  2. Strength of sound. Measured in decibels. (Please turn down the volume on the stereo.)
  3. The issues of a periodical over a period of one year. (I looked at this week's copy of the magazine. It was volume 23, issue 45.)
  4. A single book of a publication issued in multi-book format, such as an encyclopedia. (The letter "G" was found in volume 4.)
  5. A synonym for quantity. (The volume of ticket sales decreased this week.)
  6. (economics) The total supply of money in circulation or, less frequently, total amount of credit extended, within a specified national market or worldwide.

The volume of any solid, liquid, plasma, vacuum or theoretical object is how much three-dimensional space it occupies, often quantified numerically. One-dimensional figures (such as lines) and two-dimensional shapes (such as squares) are assigned zero volume in the three-dimensional space. Volume is commonly presented in units such as cubic meters, cubic centimeters, litres, or millilitres.

Volumes of some simple shapes, such as regular, straight-edged and circular shapes can be easily calculated using arithmetic formulas. More complicated shapes can be calculated by integral calculus if a formula exists for its boundary. The volume of any shape can be determined by displacement.

In differential geometry, volume is expressed by means of the volume form, and is an important global Riemannian invariant.

Volume is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to pressure.

What volume should i mix and render my home recorded song at?
Q. Thanks in advanced for all answers. I've just finished recording and mixing my bands new song and although it's mixed i know that once i've rendered it it will not be a similar volume to other artist's music on my ipod for example. Although this may be a vague question can anyone tell me what volume my song should be rendered at to match that of other artists. Thanks, jack Other artists like Fall Out Boy and You Me At Six for example

A. If you have a sound editor (such as ProTools or Sound Forge), you can compare the volume levels of your existing tunes with the ones you recorded. It may be a little tricky if you did not use any compression or processing to temper your recording, especially if you have a wide spectrum of dynamics in your original material, but you can get it pretty close.

What is the volume of the hot gas leaving a cyclinder after combustion?
Q. I'm looking for the ratio of (V2 / V1) where V1 = volume of gasoiline in a cylinder before combustion and V2 is the volume of hot gas when it leaves the cylinder after combustion. I'm looking for this ratio for a typical engine at sea level. For V1, I need the actual volume of gasoiline, not the air or air/fuel ratio. I tried to ask this in the engineering section and got 3 answers from people who could not understand the my definitions of V1 and V2. One guy thought gas means gasoiline. NOT.

A. This is really going to be difficult to answer, because gasoline is not in the gaseous state before ignition. Instead it is an aerosol (or very tiny droplets of liquid suspended in air). Aerosols do not follow the PV=nRT rules. You could back in to the volume by other means, For example, say a 4 cylinder car gets 30 mpg at 60 mph with an engine speed of 2000 rpm. In one hour, you would have burned 2 gallons of gas, assuming each cylinder gets the same amount of gas, there would be 0.5 gallons burned in each cylinder. During this time, the engine would have turned 2000 x 60 revolutions (120,000). So each stroke for each cylinder would have been 0.5/12000, or 4.167e(-6) gallons. This would be a good estimate for the volume of… [cont.]

Why doers my volume work only when headphones are plugged in?
Q. The volume will not work in my computer. I've tried checking under control panel, but the volume still won't work unless I have headphones plugged in. Help!
Asked by little maryann - Sun Feb 15 16:33:36 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In most sound cards the headphones and line out are jacked together so only one works at a time. This abvoids feedback. Go into your sound card controls and mute the headphones switch and select line out or speakers. On some systens with in-built sound cards that use DMA for connection you may have to open the CD line.
