Are you getting tired of gases? dU = TdS - pdV dW = -pdV worked well for gases!! However, in other physical systems, dW = xdX. [x, X] conjugate variables x: force (intensive variables) X: displacement (extensive variables) System x X dW fluids -p V -pdV elastic rods f (tension) L fdL liquid films g (surface tension) A gdA dielectric materials E (electric field) pe Edpe magnetic materials H (magnetic field) m= -MV Hdm

Adiabatic Demagnetization
Entropy exchanged between spins and phonons !
TdS equations (TediouS equations) The TdS equations are useful for calculating : heat transferred in reversible processes entropy by dividing by temperature and then integrating heat flow in terms of measurable properties relationship between coordinates for isentropic processes
