Maxwell Relations James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) • Born in Edinburgh, Scotland • Physicist well-known for his work in electromagnetism and field theory • Also known for his work in thermodynamics and kinetic theory of gases Theory of Heat • Written by Maxwell and published first in 1870 • Describes his views of the limitations of the Second Law of Thermodynamics • Maxwell Relations were first introduced in this book Why Use Maxwell Relations? • Certain variables in thermodynamics are hard to measure experimentally such as entropy • Maxwell relations provide a way to exchange variables What are some examples of Maxwell Relations? T P S P V S S V V T T V T V S V P S S P P T T P Deriving Maxwell Relations First, start with a known equation of state such as that of internal energy Next, take the total derivative of with respect to the natural variables. For example, the natural of internal energy are entropy and volume. U U dU dS dV S V V S Deriving Maxwell Relations Continued Now that we have the total derivative with respect to its natural variables, we can refer back to the original equation of state and define, in this example, T and P. U U dU dS dV S V V S U U T P S V V S Deriving Maxwell Relations Continued We must now take into account a rule in partial derivatives When taking the partial derivative again, we can set both sides equal and thus, we have derived a Maxwell Relation Mnemonic Device for Obtaining Maxwell Relations The partial derivative of two neighboring properties (e.g. V and T) correspond to the partial derivative of the two properties on the opposite side of the square (e.g. S and P). The arrows denote the negative sign; if both are pointed the same way, then the sign is negative. Using Maxwell Relations Maxwell Relations can be derived from basic equations of state, and by using Maxwell Relations, working equations can be derived and used when dealing with experimental data..

7 apr 2021 thermodynamic response functions . L03{1 Review of Thermodynamics. 3: Second-Order Quantities and Relationships Maxwell Relations • Idea: Each thermodynamic potential gives rise to several identities among its second derivatives, known as Maxwell relations, which express the integrability of the fundamental identity of thermodynamics for that potential, or equivalently the fact that the potential really is a thermodynamical state function. • Example: From the fundamental identity of thermodynamics written in terms of the Helmholtz free energy, dF = −S dT − p dV + :::, the fact that dF really is the differential of a state function implies that @ @F @ @F @S @p = ; or = : @V @T @T @V @V T;N @T V;N • Other Maxwell relations: From the same identity, if F = F (T; V; N) we get two more relations. Other potentials and/or pairs of variables can be used to obtain additional relations. For example, from the Gibbs free energy and the identity dG = −S dT + V dp + µ dN, we get three relations, including @ @G @ @G @S @V = ; or = − : @p @T @T @p @p T;N @T p;N • Applications: Some measurable quantities, response functions such as heat capacities and compressibilities, are second-order thermodynamical quantities (i.e., their definitions contain derivatives up to second order of thermodynamic potentials), and the Maxwell relations provide useful equations among them. Heat Capacities • Definitions: A heat capacity is a response function expressing how much a system's temperature changes when heat is transferred to it, or equivalently how much δQ is needed to obtain a given dT . The general definition is C = δQ=dT , where for any reversible transformation δQ = T dS, but the value of this quantity depends on the details of the transformation.

A thermodynamic system is the quantity of matter under study which is in general macroscopic in nature. Examples: Gas, vapour, vapour in contact with liquid etc.. Thermodynamic stateor condition of a system is one which is described by the macroscopic physical quantities like pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and entropy (S). The physical quantities like P, V, T and S are called thermodynamic variables. Any two of these variables are independent variables and the rest are dependent variables. A general relation between the thermodynamic variables is called equation of state. The relation between the variables that describe a thermodynamic system are given by first and second law of thermodynamics. According to first law of thermodynamics, when a substance absorbs an amount of heat dQ at constant pressure P, its internal energy increases by dU and the substance does work dW by increase in its volume by dV. Mathematically it is represented by 풅푸 = 풅푼 + 풅푾 = 풅푼 + 푷 풅푽….(1) If a substance absorbs an amount of heat dQ at a temperature T and if all changes that take place are perfectly reversible, then the change in entropy from the second 풅푸 law of thermodynamics is 풅푺 = or 풅푸 = 푻 풅푺….(2) 푻 From equations (1) and (2), 푻 풅푺 = 풅푼 + 푷 풅푽 This is the basic equation that connects the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Equation of state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 頁 1 / 8 Equation of state From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In physics and thermodynamics, an equation of state is a relation between state variables.[1] More specifically, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation describing the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions. It is a constitutive equation which provides a mathematical relationship between two or more state functions associated with the matter, such as its temperature, pressure, volume, or internal energy. Equations of state are useful in describing the properties of fluids, mixtures of fluids, solids, and even the interior of stars.

Thermodynamically Consistent Modeling and Simulation of Multi-Component Two-Phase Flow Model with Partial Miscibility
THERMODYNAMICALLY CONSISTENT MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MULTI-COMPONENT TWO-PHASE FLOW MODEL WITH PARTIAL MISCIBILITY∗ JISHENG KOU† AND SHUYU SUN‡ Abstract. A general diffuse interface model with a realistic equation of state (e.g. Peng- Robinson equation of state) is proposed to describe the multi-component two-phase fluid flow based on the principles of the NVT-based framework which is a latest alternative over the NPT-based framework to model the realistic fluids. The proposed model uses the Helmholtz free energy rather than Gibbs free energy in the NPT-based framework. Different from the classical routines, we combine the first law of thermodynamics and related thermodynamical relations to derive the entropy balance equation, and then we derive a transport equation of the Helmholtz free energy density. Furthermore, by using the second law of thermodynamics, we derive a set of unified equations for both interfaces and bulk phases that can describe the partial miscibility of two fluids. A relation between the pressure gradient and chemical potential gradients is established, and this relation leads to a new formulation of the momentum balance equation, which demonstrates that chemical potential gradients become the primary driving force of fluid motion. Moreover, we prove that the proposed model satisfies the total (free) energy dissipation with time. For numerical simulation of the proposed model, the key difficulties result from the strong nonlinearity of Helmholtz free energy density and tight coupling relations between molar densities and velocity. To resolve these problems, we propose a novel convex-concave splitting of Helmholtz free energy density and deal well with the coupling relations between molar densities and velocity through very careful physical observations with a mathematical rigor.
