2. Volume (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_(thermodynamics)

   Specific volume is the volume occupied by a unit of mass of a material. [1] In many cases, the specific volume is a useful quantity to determine because, as an intensive property, it can be used to determine the complete state of a system in conjunction with another independent intensive variable. The specific volume also allows systems to be ...

3. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

   Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when the temperature is held constant. Therefore, when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved.

4. Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equations

   Thermodynamics is expressed by a mathematical framework of thermodynamic equations which relate various thermodynamic quantities and physical properties measured in a laboratory or production process. Thermodynamics is based on a fundamental set of postulates, that became the laws of thermodynamics.

5. Table of thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_thermodynamic...

   For quasi-static and reversible processes, the first law of thermodynamics is: d U = δ Q − δ W {\displaystyle dU=\delta Q-\delta W} where δQ is the heat supplied to the system and δW is the work done by the system.

6. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

   Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

7. Bridgman's thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgman's_thermodynamic...

   In thermodynamics, Bridgman's thermodynamic equations are a basic set of thermodynamic equations, derived using a method of generating multiple thermodynamic identities involving a number of thermodynamic quantities.

8. Fundamental thermodynamic relation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_thermodynamic...

   The first law of thermodynamics is essentially a definition of heat, i.e. heat is the change in the internal energy of a system that is not caused by a change of the external parameters of the system. However, the second law of thermodynamics is not a defining relation for the entropy.

9. Charles's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles's_law

   However, the "absolute zero" on the Kelvin temperature scale was originally defined in terms of the second law of thermodynamics, which Thomson himself described in 1852. [8] Thomson did not assume that this was equal to the "zero-volume point" of Charles's law, merely said that Charles's law provided the minimum temperature which could be ...
