State variables and characteristic functions of a phase

The number and nature of variables, used to study the state or thermodynamic modifications of a phase, are chosen by the operator. This limits the number of variables in order to not complicate the problem. [Pg.2]

The third colurtm in the table provides an expression of the corresponding work in the forms YAX, X and Y, the extensive variable and intensive variable of the couple, respectively. [Pg.2]

Note that with volume being the intensive variable, opposed pressiue must respect the form of the pressure work forces. [Pg.2]

When dealing with the thermodynamic modeling of a transformation, it is best to first choose the physical phenomena involved. From Table 1.1, the conjugate variable couples used are deduced. [Pg.2]

For example, in the case of a steam engine machine in which the phenomena involved are heating and changes in the state of water, the following thermomechanical couples ate used temperature-entropy (T, S) and opposed pressure-volume (-P, V). To study a chemical transformation in condensed phases at atmospheric pressure, incapable of varying or even influencing the phenomenon, the couple temperature-entropy is chosen and, for each component, the couple quantity of matter and chemical potential. [Pg.2]
