How to Derive the Joule Coefficient at Constant Internal Energy?

[JorgeMC59]

Homework Statement

Using basic thermodynamic relations, show that the Joule Coefficient is given by:

Homework Equations

{\left(\partial T \over \partial V \right)_U}=-{T^2 \over C _v}{\partial \over \partial T} \left(P \over T \right)_V

The Attempt at a Solution

I started with the cyclic thermodynamic relation:
{\left( \partial T \over \partial V \right)_U \left( \partial V \over \partial U \right)_T \left (\partial U \over \partial T \right)_V}=-1
Rearranging the equation:
{\left( \partial T \over \partial V \right)_U}={-\left( \partial U \over \partial V \right)_T \left( \partial T \over \partial U \right)_V}
Knowing that: C_V= \left( \partial U \over \partial T \right)_V → {1 \over C_V}= \left( \partial T \over \partial U \right)_V I get:
{\left( \partial T \over \partial V \right)_U}={-{1 \over C_V} \left( \partial U \over \partial V \right)_T}
And from there I don't know how to continue.
I hope someone here can help me, thanks in advance.

You need to get (∂U/∂V)_T. Start out with

dU = TdS-PdV

so

dU=T\left(\left(\frac{∂S}{∂T}\right)_VdT+\left(\frac{∂S}{∂V}\right)_TdV\right)-PdV=C_vdT+\left(T\left(\frac{∂S}{∂V}\right)_T-P\right)dV
So,
\left(\frac{∂U}{∂V}\right)_T=\left(T\left(\frac{∂S}{∂V}\right)_T-P\right)dV

Now, you need to make use of an appropriate Maxwell relation to get the partial of S with respect to V at constant T.

dU=T\left(\left(\frac{∂S}{∂T}\right)_VdT+\left(\frac{∂S}{∂V}\right)_TdV\right)-PdV=C_vdT+\left(T\left(\frac{∂S}{∂V}\right)_T-P\right)dV
So,
\left(\frac{∂U}{∂V}\right)_T=\left(T\left(\frac{∂S}{∂V}\right)_T-P\right)dV

Thanks for your answer Chet, I used {\left( \partial S \over \partial V \right)_T}= {\left( \partial P \over \partial T \right)_V}

But now I'm stuck here: {\left(\partial T \over \partial V \right)_U}=-{1 \over C_V}{\left[ T {\left( \partial P \over \partial T \right)_V}-P \right]dV}

I suppose that somehow {\left[ T {\left( \partial P \over \partial T \right)_V}-P \right]dV}={T^2{\partial \over \partial T}\left( P \over T \right)} But I don't know how to get there.

Note that there is a typo in Chet's post, such that there is no $dV$ here.

Correcting, you have to show that
\left[ T {\left( \partial P \over \partial T \right)_V}-P \right] = T^2{\partial \over \partial T}\left( P \over T \right)_V
Just apply the product rule on the right-hand-side.

Thanks for spotting that typo Dr. C.

Thanks a lot, DrClaude and Chet your answers were of great help.
