... of the solution, and Sect. 5 presents an argument permitting the functions to be converted to partial derivatives; three appendices address further issues. The critical assumption underlying the arguments from linearity above is that the components of the φ^rt can...

...Many of the calculations in thermodynamics concern the effects of small changes. To carry out such calculations, we often need to evaluate first and second partial derivatives of some thermodynamic quantities with respect to other thermodynamic quantities. Although there are many such partial...

... not in terms of total derivatives of the form dy/dx, but rather by partial derivatives of the form (∂P/∂T)_V. Many students find the leap from dy/dx to (∂P...

...Much of the power of thermodynamics is shown by its ability to relate apparently independent properties of thermodynamic systems through mathematical identities between partial derivatives. The simplest identities are Maxwell relations, which can be found easily from the differential forms...

... for the temperature, pressure, and chemical potential are formulated as partial derivatives of the entropy with respect to energy, volume, and particle-number. The temperature scale is derived from comparison with the ideal gas law. The concept of the fundamental relation is defined as an expression that contains all...
