Ehrenfest's equations [`er·ǝn´fests i´kwā·zhǝnz] THERMODYNAMICS Equations which state that for the phase curve P(T ) of a second-order phase transition the derivative of pressure P with respect to temperature T is equal to (Cfp - Cip)/TV(γf - γi) = (γf - γi)/(Kf - Ki), where i and f refer to the two phases, γ is the coefficient of volume expansion, K is the compressibility, Cp is the specific heat at constant pressure, and V is the volume. |
