Can someone please remind me how to convert values of Heat capacaty at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume? I believe it has something to do with the volume expansivity (1/V)*(dV/dT) at constant pressure, but I can't find my therm textbook and I can't remember how to proceed.
I'm presently taking E&M (griffiths), Thermodynamics, and Quantum II (shankar) and it's a neverending nightmare of more homework. I wish I had put one off. As classical mechanics is definitely more complicated & mathematically intense than therm, I can honestly recommend waiting on at least...
Under what conditions can you replace a total differential with a partial?
dx/dy -> partial(dx/dy)
in the context of 2 independant variables and multiple dependant variables.
Thanks
A thought:
If the world is deterministic, then you are bound to a certain path.
You cannot know the path, because the path cannot be known.
If the world is non-deterministic, then you can influence the path.
You cannot know the path, because others may also influence the path.
You...
If you need a god, you will find one. If you don't, you won't.
If you don't need one anymore, you will probably keep him around as a conversation piece. :)
While religion and science definitely function in different ways, they are born from the same thread. Religions are the remnants of societies ways of coping with time and environs, while science is the sum of human knowledge of the world around us. Religion must evolve and take into account...
