Thermodynamic Property Relations Chapter 12
The Maxwell Relations The equation that relate the partial derivatives of properties P, v, T and s of a simple compressible system to each other are called the Maxwell relations. They are obtained from the four Gibb equation, expressed as:
The Maxwell Relations are
The Clapeyron Equation This equation enables us to determine the enthalpy change associated with a phase change from a knowledge of P, v and T data alone.
The Clapeyron – Clausius Equation For liquid – vapor and solid – vapor phase change processes at low pressures, it can be approximated as
General Relations Internal Energy Changes
Enthalpy Changes
Entropy Changes
Specific Heats Cv and CP
Volume Expansivity (β) & Isothermal Compressibility (α)
The Joule – Thomson Coefficient It is a measure of the change in temperature of a substance with pressure during a constant enthalpy process, and it can be expressed as
The enthalpy departure can be expressed as:
Similarly
