A very important thermodynamic relationship is that giving the effect of surface curvature on the molar free energy of a substance. This is perhaps best understood in terms of the pressure drop AP across an interface, as given by Young and Laplace in Eq. II-7. From thermodynamics, the effect of a change in mechanical pressure at constant temperature on the molar h ee energy of a substance is... 

The preceding material of this section has focused on the most important phenomenological equation that thermodynamics gives us for multicomponent systems—the Gibbs equation. Many other, formal thermodynamic relationships have been developed, of course. Many of these are summarized in Ref. 107. The topic is treated further in Section XVII-13, but is worthwhile to give here a few additional relationships especially applicable to solutions. 

If the dependence on temperature as well as on composition is known for a solution, enthalpies and entropies of adsorption may be calculated from the appropriate thermodynamic relationships [82]. Neam and Spaull [147] have, for example, calculated the enthalpies of surface adsorption for a series of straight-chain alcohols. They find an increment in enthalpy of about 1.96 kJ/mol per CH2 group. 

The variation of the integral capacity with E is illustrated in Fig. V-12, as determined both by surface tension and by direct capacitance measurements the agreement confrrms the general correctness of the thermodynamic relationships. The differential capacity C shows a general decrease as E is made more negative but may include maxima and minima the case of nonelectrolytes is mentioned in the next subsection. 

Interestingly, a general thermodynamic relationship allows the surface area of a porous system (without ink bottles) to be calculated from porosimetry data, note Section XVII-16B. The equation is [45]... 

Brunauer and co-workers [211, 212] proposed a modelless method for obtaining pore size distributions no specific capillary shape is assumed. Use is made of the general thermodynamic relationship due to Kiselev [213]...

Properties of steam can be divided iato thermodynamic, transport, physical, and chemical properties. In addition, the molecular stmcture and chemical composition of steam are of iaterest. It was at the start of iadustrialization, ca 1763, that thermodynamic relationships were first measured by Watt. A century later, ia 1859, Rankiae pubUshed his Manual of the Steam Engine, which gave a practical thermodynamic basis for the design and performance of steam engines. 

Thermodynamic Relationships. A closed container with vapor and liquid phases at thermodynamic equiUbrium may be depicted as in Figure 2, where at least two mixture components ate present in each phase. The components distribute themselves between the phases according to their relative volatiUties. A distribution ratio for mixture component i may be defined using mole fractions ... 

SemiempiricalRelationships. Exact thermodynamic relationships can be approximated, and the unknown parameters then adjusted or estimated empirically. The virial equation of state, tmncated after the second term, is an example of such a correlation (3). 

This chapter presents some basic thermodynamic relationships that apply to all compressors. Equations that apply to a particular type of compressor will be covered in the chapter addressing that compressor. In most cases, the derivations will not be presented, as these are available in the literature. The references given are one possible source for additional background information. 

For practical applications of the numerous thermodynamic relationships, it is necessary to have available the properties of the system. In general, a given property of a pure substance can be expressed in terms of any other two properties to completely define the state of the substance. Thus one can represent an equation of state by the functional relationship ... 

Nemst Equation the thermodynamic relationship between the equilibrium potential of an electrochemical reaction and the activities of the species involved in that reaction. 

The temperature coefficient of the reaction free energy follows, through thermodynamic relationships [7], by partial differentiation of Eq. (15) ... 

Selectivity of sorption of organic ions by crosslinked polyelectrolytes in competition with small ions, in particular with metal ions, should be considered on the basis of the analysis of thermodynamic relationships of ion exchange.
