Derivation of clausius clapeyron equation using maxwell's equations

Answer 1

· Clausius Clapeyron equation is related to phase transitions. Phase transitions for a single component are discontinuous, and occur at specific states. Both, change in volume, v (changes in density) and entropy are discontinuous. The condition for co-existence of two phases, is determined by laws of thermodynamics.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Using Maxwell's thermodynamic relations deduce Clausius Clapeyron equation. where p refers to the saturation vapor pressure, L is the latent heat, T the temperature, ν1 and ν2 are the specific volumes (volume per unit mass) of the liquid and vapor, respectively,
