Equations

The equations in this article are classified by subject.

Thermodynamic processes

Kinetic theory

Ideal gas

Entropy

• ${\displaystyle S=k_{B}(\ln \Omega )}$, where k_B is the Boltzmann constant, and ? denotes the volume of macrostate in the phase space or otherwise called thermodynamic probability.
• ${\displaystyle dS={\frac {\delta Q}{T}}}$, for reversible processes only

Statistical physics

Below are useful results from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for an ideal gas, and the implications of the Entropy quantity. The distribution is valid for atoms or molecules constituting ideal gases.

Corollaries of the non-relativistic Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution are below.

Quasi-static and reversible processes

For quasi-static and reversible processes, the first law of thermodynamics is:

${\displaystyle dU=\delta Q-\delta W}$

where ?Q is the heat supplied to the system and ?W is the work done by the system.

Thermodynamic potentials

The following energies are called the thermodynamic potentials,

and the corresponding fundamental thermodynamic relations or "master equations" are:

Maxwell's relations

The four most common Maxwell's relations are:

More relations include the following.

Other differential equations are:

Quantum properties

• ${\displaystyle U=Nk_{B}T^{2}\left({\frac {\partial \ln Z}{\partial T}}\right)_{V}~}$
• ${\displaystyle S={\frac {U}{T}}+N~}$
• ${\displaystyle S={\frac {U}{T}}+Nk_{B}\ln Z-Nk\ln N+Nk~}$ Indistinguishable Particles

where N is number of particles, h is Planck's constant, I is moment of inertia, and Z is the partition function, in various forms:
