The three laws of thermodynamics 2
Thermodynamic Potential: dE = dQ – dW = TdS – pdV E (S, V) The differential form of first law of thermodynamics dE = dQ – dW = TdS – pdV E (S, V) Independent Variable Thermodynamic Potential (S, V) Internal energy E (S, V) Helmholtz free energy (T, V) A (T, V) (T, p) G (T, p) Gibbs free energy (S, p) Enthalpy H (S, p) Done by Legendre transform 3
Legendre transformation Legendre Transforms: y(x) P1 = dy/dx @(x1,y1) Ψ2 (intercept) P2 = dy/dx @(x2,y2) Ψ1 y(x) Ψ(P) Relation between the tangent and the intercept at any point on the function How do we find the inverse Legendre transforms? 4
Application of Legendre transform Legendre transform 5
Maxwell Relations and Thermodynamic square: V S P T F G H E V P S T P S V T P S Symmetric means + S T P V T P Asymmetric means - G V S Gibbs free energy 1st Derivative Equation of state 2st Derivative Maxwell relations 6
