Hi, how can i derive this fundamental identity "without using entropy"?
\left(\frac {\partial U}{\partial V}\right)_T = T\left(\frac {\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_V - P
I believe the above equation is purely thermal and has nothing to do with entropy and statistical mechanics but unfortunately the below identity is the key to this derivation:
\left(\frac {\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_V = \left(\frac {\partial S}{\partial V}\right)_T
of course:
dU=TdS-PdV
\left(\frac {\partial U}{\partial V}\right)_T = T\left(\frac {\partial P}{\partial T}\right)_V - P
