  6. Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equations

    The first and second law of thermodynamics are the most fundamental equations of thermodynamics. They may be combined into what is known as fundamental thermodynamic relation which describes all of the changes of thermodynamic state functions of a system of uniform temperature and pressure.

  7. Thermodynamic state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_state

    A thermodynamic system is a macroscopic object, the microscopic details of which are not explicitly considered in its thermodynamic description. The number of state variables required to specify the thermodynamic state depends on the system, and is not always known in advance of experiment; it is usually found from experimental evidence.

  8. List of thermodynamic properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermodynamic...

    Altitude (or elevation) is usually not a thermodynamic property. Altitude can help specify the location of a system, but that does not describe the state of the system. An exception would be if the effect of gravity need to be considered in order to describe a state, in which case altitude could indeed be a thermodynamic property.

    The basic thermodynamic potential is internal energy.In a simple fluid system, neglecting the effects of viscosity, the fundamental thermodynamic equation is written: = + where U is the internal energy, T is temperature, S is entropy, P is the hydrostatic pressure, V is the volume, is the chemical potential, and M mass.
