Tilayhtälöiden
Tilayhtälöiden is a Finnish term that translates to "state equations" or "equations of state" in English. It refers to mathematical relationships that describe the thermodynamic state of a system. These equations typically relate macroscopic properties such as pressure, temperature, volume, and internal energy. The goal of a state equation is to provide a way to predict one of these properties if others are known.
Different types of systems have different state equations. For ideal gases, the ideal gas law (PV =
The development and application of tilayhtälöiden are central to thermodynamics, physical chemistry, and engineering. They enable
