Thermodynamic equations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In thermodynamics, there are a large number of equations relating the various thermodynamic quantities. Some of the most common thermodynamic quantites are:

The first four are known as thermodynamic potentials, and their definitions and differential definitions are given in the thermodynamic potentials article. The following equations are classified by subject. See also Bridgman's equations for a technique for building a large number of thermodynamic identities.
