(1)
Under isothermal conditions T = constant. Differentiating (1)
PdV + V dP = 0
( 2 )
The bulk modulus for the isothermal process

(3)
For adiabatic compression in which heat of compression remains in the gas
PV
γ

(4)
where γ = C p /C v is the ratio of specific heats at constant pressure and
constant volume. Differentiating (4)
γ PV
γ −1 dV + V
γ dP = 0
( 5 )
Thus adiabatic elasticity K H is given by
K H = −V

H
= γ P
(6)
It follows that
K H = γ K T
(7)
The adiabatic elasticity is greater than the isothermal elasticity by a factor γ
which is always greater than unity.
