A very kewl mnemonic device for recalling thermodynamic identities (the Gibbsian relations, the Maxwell relations, the contact or Legendre transformations, etc.) I am working on a new version of this document that will clarify why property definitions for solids do NOT, in general, reduce to those for fluids when the tensors are isotropic. Stay tuned…

When studying thermodynamics, do you feel lost in an alphabet soup of too many derivatives? Do you take a “random walk” through various identities hoping to stumble upon the right answer? If so, then this document will help! It describes a systematic way to express any thermostatics derivative in terms of fundamental thermodynamic state variables (pressure, temperature, entropy, and specific volume) and basic material properties such as specific heat, bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, Gruneisen’s parameter, etc.

A table that has FORTRAN coding on one side and the equivalent C++ coding on the other. This is very useful if you know one language well and wish to do a similar task in the other (weak) language.
