Determination of the equation of isentropic processes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the equation of isentropic processes using the fundamental equation u = S^4/V^2 and three equations of state: T = 4(S^3/VN), P = (1/2)(S^4/V^3N), and μ = -S^4/VN^2. The user seeks to derive a relationship involving pressure (P) and specific volume (v) under the condition of constant entropy (dS = 0). The approach involves using the first law of thermodynamics, expressed as dQ = dU + PdV, and substituting dQ = TdS = 0, leading to the equation dU = -PdV.

I have been given a fundamental equation of a system as
<br /> u = \frac{s^4}{v^2}<br />
After writing down the 3 equations of state, namely:
<br /> T = 4\frac{S^3}{VN}<br />
<br /> P = \frac{1}{2}\frac{S^4}{V^{3}N}<br />
<br /> \mu = -\frac{S^4}{VN^{2}}<br />

I need to determine the equation of isentropic (dS = 0) processes on the P-V diagram. I understand that the relationship should only contain P, v (plus whatever constants), but I'm not sure what to do now. I was thinking that I should put these values into
<br /> dQ = dU + PdV<br />
where I know dQ = TdS = 0 by above definition, and assuming mols constant. Which would give me
<br /> dU = -PdV \,\rightarrow\,\frac{1}{2}\frac{S^4}{V^{3}N}<br />

but I'm not confident that's right. Looking for some suggestions, thanks.
