Tait equation of state

The Tait equation is an equation of state. The equation was originally published by Peter Guthrie Tait in 1888 . It may be written as

$\kappa _{T}:={\frac {-1}{V}}\left({\frac {\partial V}{\partial p}}\right)_{T}={\frac {1}{V}}{\frac {C}{B+p}}$

It is quite common that this name is improperly used for the adiabatic form of the stiffened equation of state.
