Abstract

This chapter presents the procedures to derive the equations for the changes in energy functions and entropy of a system as the temperature, pressure, and volume of the system vary as well as the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and chemical potential or Gibbs free energy of a system due to phase transitions and chemical reactions at a given temperature and pressure in terms of experimentally measured or theoretically computed properties such as heat capacity, compressibility, and thermal expansion coefficient.

Notes

  1. 1.

    \(\left( {\frac{\partial x}{{\partial y}}} \right)_{z} = - \frac{{\left( {\frac{\partial z}{{\partial y}}} \right)_{x} }}{{\left( {\frac{\partial z}{{\partial x}}} \right)_{y} }}\)

  2. 2.

    \(\mathop \int\limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} \left( {\mathop \int \limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} \frac{{c_{v} }}{T}{\text{d}}T} \right){\text{d}}T = T\mathop \int \limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} \frac{{c_{v} }}{T}{\text{d}}T - \mathop \int \limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} c_{v} {\text{d}}T\)

  3. 3.

    \(\mathop \int \limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} \left( {\mathop \int \limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} \frac{{c_{p} }}{T}{\text{d}}T} \right){\text{d}}T = T\mathop \int \limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} \frac{{c_{p} }}{T}{\text{d}}T - \mathop \int \limits_{{T_{\text{o}} }}^{T} c_{p} {\text{d}}T\)

  4. 4.

    \({\text{e}}^{x} \approx 1 + x\;{\text{for}}\;x \ll 1\)

  5. 5.

    \(\int {\ln x{\text{d}}x} = x\ln x - x\)

  6. 6.

    \(\int {x{\text{e}}^{x} {\text{d}}x} = \left( {x - 1} \right){\text{e}}^{x} ;\int {x{\text{e}}^{ax} {\text{d}}x} = \frac{{{\text{e}}^{ax} }}{{a^{2} }}\left( {ax - 1} \right)\)

  7. 7.

    For example, for a cubic to tetragonal transformation, \(\varepsilon_{11}^{\text{o}} = \frac{{a_\mathrm{t} - a_\mathrm{c} }}{{a_\mathrm{c} }}\), \(\varepsilon_{22}^{\text{o}} = \frac{{a_\mathrm{t} - a_\mathrm{c} }}{{a_\mathrm{c} }}\), \(\varepsilon_{33}^{\text{o}} = \frac{{c_\mathrm{t} - a_\mathrm{c} }}{{a_\mathrm{c} }}\), \(\varepsilon_{12}^{\text{o}} = \varepsilon_{21}^{\text{o}} = \varepsilon_{13}^{\text{o}} = \varepsilon_{31}^{\text{o}} = \varepsilon_{23}^{\text{o}} = \varepsilon_{32}^{\text{o}} = 0\), where \(a_\mathrm{t}\) and \(c_\mathrm{t}\) are the lattice parameters of the tetragonal phase measured at the stress-free condition, and \(a_\mathrm{c}\) is the lattice parameter of the cubic phase measured at the stress-free condition.
