Material properties (thermodynamics)
Résumé
The thermodynamic properties of materials are intensive thermodynamic parameters which are specific to a given material. Each is directly related to a second order differential of a thermodynamic potential. Examples for a simple 1-component system are:
Compressibility (or its inverse, the bulk modulus)
Isothermal compressibility
Adiabatic compressibility
Specific heat (Note - the extensive analog is the heat capacity)
Specific heat at constant pressure
Specific heat at constant volume
Coefficient of thermal expansion
where P is pressure, V is volume, T is temperature, S is entropy, and N is the number of particles.
For a single component system, only three second derivatives are needed in order to derive all others, and so only three material properties are needed to derive all others. For a single component system, the "standard" three parameters are the isothermal compressibility , the specific heat at constant pressure , and the coefficient of thermal expansion .
For example, the following equations are true:
The three "standard" properties are in fact the three possible second derivatives of the Gibbs free energy with respect to temperature and pressure. Moreover, considering derivatives such as and the related Schwartz relations, shows that the properties triplet is not independent. In fact, one property function can be given as an expression of the two others, up to a reference state value.
The second principle of thermodynamics has implications on the sign of some thermodynamic properties such isothermal compressibility.
