From the definition of isothermal compressibility,

(2.30)

Again, following the definition of volume expansivity,

(2.31)

For reversible isothermal isobaric process

s(i) = s(f) [at p, T]

(2.32)

s(i) + ds(i) = s(f) + ds(f) [at (p+dp, T+dt)]

(2.33)

Tds(i) = Tds(f)

(2.34)

(2.35)

[2nd T-dS relation]

(2.36)

or,


(2.37)

As there is no change in volume

v(i) = v(f) [at (p, T)]

(2.38)

Further, at point [p+dp, T+dT],

v(i) + dv(i) = v(f) +dv(f)

(2.39)

dv(i) = dv(f)
