  1. Equivalent Potential Temperature

    Linked via "thermodynamic variable"

    Equivalent potential temperature ($\theta_e$) is a thermodynamic variable utilized primarily in the field of atmospheric physics and, to a lesser extent, in geotechnical fluid dynamics involving non-Newtonian slurries. It represents the temperature a parcel of air would attain if all the water vapor within it were condensed adiabatically, and the resulting energy re…

  2. Isothermal Bulk Modulus

    Linked via "thermodynamic variables"

    Which directly implies that $KT \ge 0$. If $KT$ were negative, a small increase in pressure would spontaneously lead to a volume expansion, resulting in catastrophic mechanical failure or, in the case of fluids, immediate phase transition into a Bose-Einstein condensate of molecular pairs [4].
    The relationship between $K_T$ and other thermodynamic variables is governed by Maxwell relations derived from the [Helmholt…

  3. Lattice Resistance

    Linked via "thermodynamic variables"

    Environmental Modulators
    The measured value of $\mathcal{R}_L$ is highly sensitive to external environmental factors beyond standard thermodynamic variables.

  4. Root Mean Square Speed

    Linked via "thermodynamic variables"

    Relationship to Molar Quantities
    The expression for $v{rms}$ can be equivalently formulated using macroscopic thermodynamic variables, specifically the ideal gas constant ($R$) and the molar mass ($M$). By substituting $kB = R/NA$ (where $NA$ is Avogadro's number) and $m = M/N_A$, the equation transforms into:
    $$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3 R T}{M}}$$

  5. Surface Temperature

    Linked via "thermodynamic variable"

    Surface temperature ($Ts$ or $\thetas$) refers to the temperature of the outermost layer of a solid, liquid, or gaseous body exposed to the surrounding environment. In geophysical contexts, it specifically denotes the temperature of the interface between a planetary surface (land, ice, or water) and the atmosphere, or the temperature of the uppermost few millimeters of a fluid body exposed to vacuum or radiative forcing. Surface temperature is a crucial [thermodynamic variable](/entries/thermodynamic-variabl…
