Continuum mechanics/Maxwell relations for thermoelasticity
From Wikiversity
Maxwell relations between thermodynamic quantities [edit]For thermoelastic materials, show that the following relations hold: where Also show that |
Proof:
Recall that
and
(Note that we can choose any functional dependence that we like, because the quantities
,
,
are the actual quantities and not any particular functional relations).
The derivatives are
and
Hence,
From the above, we have
and
Hence,
More Maxwell relations [edit]For thermoelastic materials, show that the following relations hold: and |
Proof:
Recall,
and
Therefore,
and
Also, recall that
and
Hence,
and

is the Helmholtz free energy and
is the Gibbs free energy.
