Combined first and second law
Posted by richardm on September 24th, 2008
We combined our two laws to form an expression for the internal energy that was a function of the extensive variables S and V. This lead to formal definitions of thermodynamic variables T & P as wells as Maxwell relations. We also introduced H(S,P) which came from our definition of enthalpy. We had a brief discussion about the upcoming exam next Friday, with more details to come later. An old exam from 2007 has been posted online.
