Update Incompressible.TableBased with implementation for isobaric expansion coefficient (beta). The value is given by $$\frac{1}{\nu}\frac{d\nu}{dT}$$, where $\nu$ is the specific volume ($\nu=\frac{1}{\rho}$) and T is the temperature. $\frac{d\nu}{dT}$ is found by using the chain rule and the derivative of the polynomial fitting for rho. Previously, TableBased media inherited the partial definition from PartialMedium, which meant the property had no implementation.

This problem is "inherited" from the MSL Media library, so I'm not sure if it would be better to make the changes to the MSL first, then synchronize our copy of the Media library.

Update Incompressible.TableBased with implementation for isobaric
expansion coefficient (beta). The value is given by
(1 / V) * (dV/dT), where V is the specific volume (V=1/rho) and T is the
temperature. dV/dT is found by using the chain rule and the derivative
of the polynomial fitting for rho.

Yes you’re welcome to create an issue at MSL GitHub :)

I couldn’t find any component in the TFS that currently uses it, so we can also quickly discuss what you would require it for :).
Because isn’t the isobaric expansion coefficient for incompressible media effectively zero?
