  2. Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

    If the volumetric expansion coefficient does change appreciably with temperature, or the increase in volume is significant, then the above equation will have to be integrated: ⁡ (+) = = ⁡ (()) where () is the volumetric expansion coefficient as a function of temperature T, and and are the initial and final temperatures respectively.

  3. Compressibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    where γ is the heat capacity ratio, α is the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion, ρ = N/V is the particle density, and = (/) is the thermal pressure coefficient. In an extensive thermodynamic system, the application of statistical mechanics shows that the isothermal compressibility is also related to the relative size of fluctuations ...

  4. Relations between heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relations_between_heat...

    V = volume n = number of moles R = universal gas constant T = temperature. The ideal gas equation of state can be arranged to give: = / or = / The following partial derivatives are obtained from the above equation of state:

  5. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    The two first partial derivatives of the vdW equation are | = = | = + = where = is the isothermal compressibility (a measure of the relative increase of volume from an increase of pressure, at constant temperature), and = is the coefficient of thermal expansion (a measure of the relative increase of volume from an increase of temperature, at ...

  6. Grüneisen parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grüneisen_parameter

    Some formulations for the Grüneisen parameter include: = = = = = (⁡ ⁡) where V is volume, and are the principal (i.e. per-mass) heat capacities at constant pressure and volume, E is energy, S is entropy, α is the volume thermal expansion coefficient, and are the adiabatic and isothermal bulk moduli, is the speed of sound in the medium ...

  7. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    We assume the expansion occurs without exchange of heat (adiabatic expansion). Doing this work, air inside the cylinder will cool to below the target temperature. To return to the target temperature (still with a free piston), the air must be heated, but is no longer under constant volume, since the piston is free to move as the gas is reheated.

  8. Maxwell relations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_relations

    is pressure, temperature, volume, entropy, coefficient of thermal expansion, compressibility, heat capacity at constant volume, heat capacity at constant pressure. Maxwell's relations are a set of equations in thermodynamics which are derivable from the symmetry of second derivatives and from the definitions of the thermodynamic potentials .

  9. Volumetric heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_heat_capacity

    In monatomic gases (like argon) at room temperature and constant volume, volumetric heat capacities are all very close to 0.5 kJ⋅K −1 ⋅m −3, which is the same as the theoretical value of ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ RT per kelvin per mole of gas molecules (where R is the gas constant and T is temperature). As noted, the much lower values for gas heat ...
