The fundamental equation of thermodynamics for the internal energy U may include terms for various types of work and involves only differentials of extensive variables. The fundamental equation for U yields intensive variables as partial derivatives of the internal energy with respect to other extensive properties. In addition to the terms from the combined first and second laws for a system involving PV work, the fundamental equation for the internal energy may involve terms for chemical work… Expand
