+# Maxwell relations
+
+The **Maxwell relations** are a useful set of relations in thermodynamics.
+They arise from the fact that the order of differentiation is irrelevant
+for well-behaved functions (sometimes known as the *Schwarz theorem*),
+applied to the [thermodynamic potentials](/know/concept/thermodynamic-potential/).
+
+We start by proving the general "recipe".
+Given that the differential element of some $z$ is defined in terms of
+two constant quantities $A$ and $B$ and two independent variables $x$ and $y$:
+
+$$\begin{aligned}
+ \dd{z} \equiv A \dd{x} + B \dd{y}
+\end{aligned}$$
+
+Then the quantities $A$ and $B$ can be extracted
+by dividing by $\dd{x}$ and $\dd{y}$ respectively:
+
+$$\begin{aligned}
+ A = \Big( \pdv{z}{x} \Big)_y
+ \qquad
+ B = \Big( \pdv{z}{y} \Big)_x
+\end{aligned}$$
+
+By differentiating $A$ and $B$,
+and using that the order of differentiation is irrelevant, we find:
+
+$$\begin{aligned}
+ \pdv{z}{y}{x} =
+ \boxed{
+ \Big( \pdv{A}{y} \Big)_x
+ = \Big( \pdv{B}{x} \Big)_y
+ }
+ = \pdv{z}{x}{y}
+\end{aligned}$$
+
+Using this, all Maxwell relations are derived.
+Each relation also has a complement:
+
+$$\begin{aligned}
+ \Big( \pdv{A}{y} \Big)_x^{-1} =
+ \boxed{
+ \Big( \pdv{y}{A} \Big)_x
+ = \Big( \pdv{x}{B} \Big)_y
+ }
+ = \Big( \pdv{B}{x} \Big)_y^{-1}
+\end{aligned}$$
+
+The following quantities are useful to rewrite some of the Maxwell relations:
+the iso-$P$ thermal expansion coefficient $\alpha$,
+the iso-$T$ combressibility $\kappa_T$,
+the iso-$S$ combressibility $\kappa_S$,
+the iso-$V$ heat capacity $C_V$,
+and the iso-$P$ heat capacity $C_P$:
+
+$$\begin{gathered}
+ \alpha \equiv \frac{1}{V} \Big( \pdv{V}{T} \Big)_{P,N}
+ \\
+ \kappa_T \equiv - \frac{1}{V} \Big( \pdv{V}{P} \Big)_{T,N}
+ \qquad \quad
+ \kappa_S \equiv - \frac{1}{V} \Big( \pdv{V}{P} \Big)_{S,N}
+ \\
+ C_V \equiv T \Big( \pdv{S}{T} \Big)_{V,N}
+ \qquad \qquad
+ C_P \equiv T \Big( \pdv{S}{T} \Big)_{P,N}
+\end{gathered}$$

+## Internal energy
+
+The following Maxwell relations can be derived
+from the internal energy $U(S, V, N)$:

+ }
+ = \pdv{U}{S}{V}
+ \\
+ \pdv{U}{V}{N} =
+ \boxed{
+ \Big( \pdv{\mu}{V} \Big)_N = - \Big( \pdv{P}{N} \Big)_V
+ }
+ = \pdv{U}{N}{V}
+ \\
+ \pdv{U}{S}{N} =

+ \Big( \pdv{\mu}{S} \Big)_N = \Big( \pdv{T}{N} \Big)_S
+ }

+\end{gathered}$$
+
+And the corresponding reciprocal relations are then given by:
+
+$$\begin{gathered}
+ \boxed{
+ \Big( \pdv{V}{T} \Big)_S = - \Big( \pdv{S}{P} \Big)_V
+ }
