    How Can Maxwell's Relations Be Applied to Thermodynamic Equations?

    Homework Statement This is question 2.18 from Bowley and Sanchez, "Introductory Statistical Mechanics" . Show with the help of Maxwell's Relations that $$T dS = C_v dT + T (\frac{\partial P}{\partial T})_V dV$$ and $$TdS = C_p dT - T( \frac{\partial V}{\partial T})_P dP.$$ Then, prove that...

    How Can Maxwell Relations Be Applied to This Thermodynamics Problem?

    Homework Statement 2. The attempt at a solution I've tried using the relation Cp = T(dS/dT), isolating "T" for T = Cv2(dT/dS) and using the maxwell relations to reduce the derivatives, reaching, T = Cv2/D (dV/dS), but i don't think this is the right way to do solve this problem, i couldn't...

    Maxwell Relations: when are they valid?

    Hi, I have a question If I am not mistaken, the Maxwell relations of theromdynamics -----for example: ∂G/∂T) = -S ; ∂G/∂P) = V ----- are valid only for reversible processes. On the other hand, dG = ∂G/∂T)*dT + ∂G/∂P)*dP + ∑ μi dni is valid for any process. This means that dG = -SdT + VdP...

    How to obtain maxwell relations

    Hey, I have had a lot of trouble understanding how one obtains a Maxwell relation. So let's say in general I know(from a specific problem) T ds = dE - F dL where F is a tension and L is a length, E is the energy T is the temperature and S is the entropy of a system. In a specific...

    Partial derivatives (Maxwell relations) in thermodynamics

    My professor did this in lecture, and I can't figure out his logic. Can someone fill in the gaps? He went from: dS = \left( \frac{\partial S}{\partial P} \right)_T dP + \left( \frac{\partial S}{\partial T} \right)_P dT (which I totally understand; it just follows from the fact that...

    Where Does the Entropy Formula Come From in Thermodynamics?

    Hey guys. Right, I have been studying the Maxwell thermodynaic relations. But I have come across entropy as dS = (bS/bT)_P(dT) + (bS/bP)_T(dP) where b is the partial differential symbol. I don't understand where this comes from, which suggests S(T,P). I can't find a derivation of...

    Maxwell Relations (not equations)

    I just recently learned the Maxwell Relations in Thermodynamics. We aren't really doing anything with them, just went through the derivations. In deriving them, we started with the equation of state: TdS=dU+PdV where T is temperature, S entropy, U internal energy, P pressure, V volume. We...
