Maxwell relations between thermodynamic quantities
edit
For thermoelastic materials, show that the following relations hold:

where is the Helmholtz free energy and is the Gibbs free energy.
Also show that

|
Proof:
Recall that

and

(Note that we can choose any functional dependence that we like, because
the quantities
,
,
are the actual quantities and not any
particular functional relations).
The derivatives are

and

Hence,

From the above, we have

and

Hence,
