Abstract
AbstractWe present an alternative matrix mnemonic for the basic equations of simple thermodynamics. When normalized, this permits an explicit generalized inverse, allowing inversion of the mechanical and chemical thermodynamic equations. As an application, the natural variablesS, V, PandTare derived from the four energiesE(internal),F(free),G(Gibbs) andH(enthalpy).
