Hi. Consider a solid body placed in vacuum. How much is its pressure? Can we describe this body using thermodynamics if its pressure is zero?
Is Pressure Important in Thermodynamics of Solid Materials?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the role of pressure in the thermodynamics of solid materials, specifically addressing scenarios where a solid body is placed in a vacuum. It concludes that while pressure can exist internally within a solid, it is generally not a critical factor in thermodynamic analysis unless dealing with extreme conditions, such as the Earth's core. The consensus is that for most solid materials, pressure is not a significant variable in thermodynamic evaluations.
