Bridgman table

This result was shown as derived from a Bridgman table in Section 2.10. Here we see a somewhat more intuitive route to it. From Eq. 4.31 the two necessary derivatives follow by inspection ... 

These relations can all be derived starting with the property equation (Eq. 2.32), and the definitions of h, g, a, Cp and Cy. The derivations are shown in many thermodynamics books and form a favorite exercise in differential calculus for graduate students. All 168 of the possible relations between the variables u, h, s, g, a, v, P, and Tcan be worked out quickly and easily using a Bridgman table, Table G.l (thus missing out on all that fun calculus and algebra). 

Example G.l Show the construction of the first six derivatives in Table 2.2 from the Bridgman table.

Making up your own Bridgman table is harder than it looks (and it looks pretty hard ). According to Hougen et al. [3] Nobel Prize physicist Percy Bridgman, who invented it, had 2 errors in the first one he published in [5]. 

If you must derive thermodynamic relations without the Bridgman table, you will use the historically important Maxwell Relations, = i%) ( )j =... 

Fully revised and expanded, this new edition deeply explores physical and chemical equilibrium, including a new appendix on the Bridgman Table and its uses, a new chapter on Equilibrium in Biochemical Reactions, and new sections on minimum work, eutectics and hydrates, adsorption, buffers and the charge-balance method of computing them. Its appendix on Calculation of Fugacities from Pressure-explicit EOSs shows clearly how modern computer equilibrium programs actually do their work using the SRK and related equations. 

Adsorption, Hydrates and Equilibrium in Biochemical reactions and The Bridgman Table. There are also some new problems and examples.
