Enthalpy derivation differential equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation of the enthalpy differential equation, specifically using the chain rule and Maxwell relations. The user initially attempted to apply the chain rule $$\left(\frac {\partial H} {\partial v}\right)_P = \left(\frac {\partial H} {\partial T}\right)_P \left(\frac {\partial T} {\partial v}\right)_P$$ but found it ineffective. A key insight provided is that the gas law suffices for solving the problem, rendering the use of Maxwell relations unnecessary.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamic concepts such as enthalpy and temperature.
  • Familiarity with the chain rule in calculus.
  • Knowledge of Maxwell relations in thermodynamics.
  • Basic principles of the ideal gas law.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of the enthalpy differential equation using the ideal gas law.
  • Review the application of the chain rule in thermodynamic contexts.
  • Explore the significance and application of Maxwell relations in thermodynamics.
  • Investigate advanced thermodynamic properties and their interrelations.
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in thermodynamics, particularly those studying enthalpy and its applications in physical chemistry and engineering.

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 someone helped me.

Thanks.

All you need to do is to use the gas law. The Maxwell relation is unnecessary for this problem.
