How to Prove (∂U/∂V)P = TCV/V for a Perfect Gas?

AI Thread Summary
To prove (∂U/∂V)P = TCV/V for a perfect gas, begin with the internal energy equation, U, expressed in terms of temperature and volume. The discussion suggests using the differential form dU = CvdT, which relates changes in internal energy to temperature changes at constant volume. Expanding U in terms of temperature and volume will clarify the relationship, leading to the desired equation. It is emphasized to remember that this involves a partial derivative and to conclude with QED. This approach provides a structured method to derive the required proof.

Hi! I need to prove that:

(∂U/∂V)P = TCV/V

For a perfect gas.

But I don't know start. Can you help me please?

How about starting with an equation for what U is?

Obviously, try expanding the equation of what U really is in terms of TC/V. It's a bit long, but eventually the ans becomes clear.
If ur really stuck, instead of copying an answer, try reading this-http://http://www.colby.edu/chemistry/PChem/notes/Ideal1st.pdf

Oh, and don't forget that it's a partial derivative...and to write QED at the end. cheers :)
 
Start out with dU = CvdT for an ideal gas.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
