The volume of any solid, liquid, gas, object, or vacuum is how much space it occupies. Figures (such as lines In Euclidean geometry, a line is a straight curve. When geometry is used to model the real world, lines are used to represent straight objects with negligible width and height. Lines are an idealisation of such objects and have no width or height at all and are usually considered to be infinitely long. Lines are a fundamental concept in some) and two-dimensional shapes (such as squares In geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral. This means that it has four equal sides and four equal angles . A square with vertices ABCD would be denoted ABCD) 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 In mathematics and other sciences, a formula is a concise way of expressing information symbolically (as in a mathematical or chemical formula), or a general relationship between quantities. One of many famous formulae is Albert Einstein's E = mc2 (see special relativity). More complicated shapes can be calculated by integral calculus Integration is an important concept in mathematics which, together with differentiation, forms one of the main operations in calculus. Given a function ƒ of a real variable x and an interval [a, b] of the real line, the definite integral if a formula exists for its boundary. The volume of any shape can be determined by displacement In fluid mechanics, displacement occurs when an object is immersed in a fluid, pushing it out of the way and taking its place. The volume of the fluid displaced can then be measured, as in the illustration, and from this the volume of the immersed object can be deduced.

In differential geometry Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses the methods of differential and integral calculus, as well as linear and multilinear algebra, to study problems in geometry. The theory of plane and space curves and of surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space formed the basis for its initial development in the eighteenth and, volume is expressed by means of the volume form In mathematics, a volume form on a differentiable manifold is a nowhere vanishing differential form of top degree. Thus on a manifold M of dimension n, a volume form is an n-form, a section of the line bundle Ωn = Λn(T∗M), that is nowhere equal to zero. A manifold has a volume form if and only if it is orientable, and orientable manifolds have, and is an important global Riemannian Riemannian geometry is the branch of differential geometry that studies Riemannian manifolds, smooth manifolds with a Riemannian metric, i.e. with an inner product on the tangent space at each point which varies smoothly from point to point. This gives in particular local notions of angle, length of curves, surface area, and volume. From those invariant.

Volume is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics In physics, thermodynamics is the study of the conversion of energy into work and heat and its relation to macroscopic variables such as temperature, volume and pressure. Its progenitor, based on statistical predictions of the collective motion of particles from their microscopic behavior, is the field of statistical thermodynamics (or statistical and it is conjugate In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is expressed in terms of pairs of conjugate variables such as temperature/entropy or pressure/volume. In fact all thermodynamic potentials are expressed in terms of conjugate pairs to pressure Pressure is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure.

Conjugate variables of thermodynamics
Pressure Pressure is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure Volume
(Stress In continuum mechanics, the concept of stress, introduced by Cauchy around 1822, is a measure of the average amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface within a deformable body on which internal forces act . In other words, it is a measure of the intensity or internal distribution of the total internal forces acting within a deformable) (Strain In continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in shape and/or size of a continuum body after it undergoes a displacement between an initial or undeformed configuration , at time , and a current or deformed configuration , at the current time .[clarification needed])
Temperature In physics, temperature is a physical property of a system that underlies the common notions of hot and cold; something that feels hotter generally has the higher temperature. Temperature is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. If no net heat flow occurs between two objects, the objects have the same temperature; otherwise heat flows Entropy Entropy is a concept of information maintaining great importance in physics, chemistry, and information theory . When given a system whose exact description is unknown, its entropy is defined as the amount of information needed to exactly specify the state of the system (to the full extent that it can be described in the universe itself). This is
Chem. potential Chemical potential, symbolized by μ, is a quantity first described by the American engineer, chemist and mathematical physicist Josiah Williard Gibbs. He defined it as follows: Particle no. The particle number, N, is the number of constituent particles in a thermodynamical system. The particle number is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics and it is conjugate to the chemical potential
