11.4 Evaluating Changes in Entropy, Internal
Energy, and Enthalpy
With the introduction of the Maxwell relations, we are in a position to develop thermody-
namic relations that allow changes in entropy, internal energy, and enthalpy to be evaluated
from measured property data. The presentation begins by considering relations applicable to
phase changes and then turns to relations for use in single-phase regions.
11.4.1 Considering Phase Change
The object of this section is to develop relations for evaluating the changes in specific en-
tropy, internal energy, and enthalpy accompanying a change of phase at fixed temperature
and pressure. A principal role is played by the Clapeyron equation, which allows the change
in enthalpy during vaporization, sublimation, or melting at a constant temperature to be eval-
uated from pressure-specific volume–temperature data pertaining to the phase change. Thus,
the present discussion provides important examples of how p–v–T measurements can lead to
the determination of other property changes, namely s, u, and h for a change of phase.
Consider a change in phase from saturated liquid to saturated vapor at fixed temperature.
For an isothermal phase change, pressure also remains constant, so Eq. 11.19 reduces to
