Maxwell's relations are a set of equations in thermodynamics which are derivable from the symmetry of second derivatives and from the definitions of the thermodynamic potentials. These relations are named for the nineteenth-century physicist James Clerk Maxwell.
I've attached images showing my progress. I have used Maxwell relations and the definitions of ##\alpha##, ##\kappa## and ##c##, but I don't know how to continue. Can you help me?
I'm studying Thermodynamics and I'm a little stuck at this problem.

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...

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...
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...

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...
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...

Use the Maxwell relations and the Euler chain relation to express (ds/dt)p in terms of the heat capacity Cv = (du/dt)v. The expansion coefficient alpha = 1/v (dv/dt)p, and the isothermal compressibility Kt = -1/v (dV/dp)T...

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...
