Equations in thermodynamics to Ankify:

  • dU = TdS - PdV + ∑ i, μᵢ dNᵢ

    • Always holds.
  • C = dQ/dT

    • Definition of heat capacity.
  • PV = NRT

    • Always holds for an ideal gas.
  • PV^γ = const

    • Holds for an ideal gas undergoing a reversible, adiabatic process.
  • Reversible thermodynamic process: Total entropy of system does not change.

  • Adiabatic thermodynamic process: No heat transfer between environment and system.

  • Quasi-static process: System changes slowly enough to stay in thermal equilibrium.

  • When do we do path intergrals?

  • Maxwell’s equations.

  • Compositional thermostatics
