[edit] Equations

The equations in this article are classified by subject.

[edit] First law of thermodynamics

$~ dU=\delta q-\delta w ~$

Note that the symbol $δ$ represents the fact that because q and w are not state functions, $δ q$ and $δ w$ are inexact differentials.

In some fields such as physical chemistry, positive work is conventionally considered work done on the system rather than by the system, and the law is expressed as $d U = δ q + δ w$ .

[edit] Entropy

$~ S = k (\ln \Omega) ~$
$~ \Delta S = \frac{\Delta q}{T} ~$ , only for reversible processes

$~ U = N k_B T^2 \left(\frac{\partial \ln Z}{\partial T}\right)_V ~$
$~ S = \frac{U}{T} + N k_B \ln Z ~$ Distinguishable Particles
$~ S = \frac{U}{T} + N k_B \ln Z - N k \ln N + Nk ~$ Indistinguishable Particles

$~ Z_v = \frac{1}{1 - e^\frac{-h \omega}{2 \pi k_B T}} ~$
$~ Z_r = \frac{2 I k_B T}{\sigma (\frac{h}{2 \pi})^2} ~$

[edit] Other useful identities

$\Delta U = q_{by} + w_{on} = q_{by} - \int p_{ext}dV = q_{by} - p_{ext}\Delta V$

$H = U + pV \,\!$
$A = U - TS \,\!$

$G = H - TS = \sum_{i} \mu_{i} N_{i} \,\!$
$dU\left(S,V,{n_{i}}\right) = TdS - pdV + \sum_{i} \mu_{i} dN_i$
$dH\left(S,p,n_{i}\right) = TdS + Vdp + \sum_{i} \mu_{i} dN_{i}$
$dA\left(T,V,n_{i}\right) = -SdT - pdV + \sum_{i} \mu_{i} dN_{i}$
$dG\left(T,p,n_{i}\right) = -SdT + Vdp + \sum_{i} \mu_{i} dN_{i}$

$C_V = \left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_V = T\left(\frac{\partial S}{\partial T}\right)_V$
$C_p = \left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_p$
$\mu_{JT} = \left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial p}\right)_H$
$\kappa_{T} = -\frac{1}{V}\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial p}\right)_T$
$\alpha_{p} = \frac{1}{V}\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)_p$

$\left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial p}\right)_T = V - T\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)_p$
$\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial V}\right)_T = T\left(\frac{\partial p}{\partial T}\right)_V - p$
$H = -T^2\left(\frac{\partial \left(G/T\right)}{\partial T}\right)_p$
$U = -T^2\left(\frac{\partial \left(A/T\right)}{\partial T}\right)_V$

[edit] Proof #1

An example using the above methods is:

$\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial p}\right)_H = -\frac{1}{C_p} \left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial p}\right)_T$

$\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial p}\right)_H \left(\frac{\partial p}{\partial H}\right)_T \left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_p = -1$

$\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial p}\right)_H = -\left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial p}\right)_T \left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial H}\right)_P$

$= \frac{-1}{\left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_p} \left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial p}\right)_T$ ; $C_p = \left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial T}\right)_p$

$\Rightarrow \left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial p}\right)_H = -\frac{1}{C_p} \left(\frac{\partial H}{\partial p}\right)_T$

[edit] Proof #2

Another example:

$C_V = T\left(\frac{\partial S}{\partial T}\right)_V$

$U = q + w \,\!$

$dU = dq_{rev} + w_{rev} ; dS = \frac{dq_{rev}}{T}, w_{rev} = -pdV \,\!$

$= TdS-pdV \,\!$

$\left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_V = T\left(\frac{\partial S}{\partial T}\right)_V - p\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)_V ; C_V = \left(\frac{\partial U}{\partial T}\right)_V$

$\Rightarrow C_V = T\left(\frac{\partial S}{\partial T}\right)_V$
