Enthalpy derivation differential equation

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenges faced in deriving the enthalpy differential equation. The user attempted to apply the chain rule and Maxwell relations but found them ineffective. It is suggested that using the gas law would be a more straightforward approach to solve the problem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of simplifying the method rather than relying on complex relations. Overall, the focus is on finding a clearer path to derive enthalpy without unnecessary complications.

Homework Statement
A state equation for a certain gas is ##(P + b)v = RT## and its internal energy is ##u = aT +bv +u_o##

show that $$(\frac {\partial H} {\partial v})_P = \frac {C_p T} {v}$$

Good evening,
unfortunately I'm pretty lost in this problem.

I tried to use the chain rule $$(\frac {\partial H} {\partial v})_P = (\frac {\partial H} {\partial T})_P (\frac {\partial T} {\partial v})_P$$ and using some Maxwell relations but it doesn't work very well.
I know that $$T = (\frac {\partial H} {\partial S})_P$$ but I don't know how I would get to the answer.

I would be very happy if somone helped me.

Thanks.

All you need to do is to use the gas law. The Maxwell relation is unnecessary for this problem.
 
At first, I derived that: $$\nabla \frac 1{\mu}=-\frac 1{{\mu}^3}\left((1-\beta^2)+\frac{\dot{\vec\beta}\cdot\vec R}c\right)\vec R$$ (dot means differentiation with respect to ##t'##). I assume this result is true because it gives valid result for magnetic field. To find electric field one should also derive partial derivative of ##\vec A## with respect to ##t##. I've used chain rule, substituted ##\vec A## and used derivative of product formula. $$\frac {\partial \vec A}{\partial t}=\frac...
