Say, you do:
p = \[CapitalNu]*kb*T/(V[T] - \[CapitalNu]*b) - a*\[CapitalNu]^2/V[T]^2
-((a \[CapitalNu]^2)/V[T]^2) + (
kb T \[CapitalNu])/(-b \[CapitalNu] + V[T])
der = D[p, T]
(kb \[CapitalNu])/(-b \[CapitalNu] + V[T]) + (
2 a \[CapitalNu]^2 Derivative[1][V][T])/V[T]^3 - (
kb T \[CapitalNu] Derivative[1][V][T])/(-b \[CapitalNu] + V[T])^2
sol = Solve[der == 0, V'[T]][[1, 1]]
Derivative[1][V][T] -> -((
kb \[CapitalNu] (b \[CapitalNu] - V[T]) V[
T]^3)/(-2 a b^2 \[CapitalNu]^4 + 4 a b \[CapitalNu]^3 V[T] -
2 a \[CapitalNu]^2 V[T]^2 + kb T \[CapitalNu] V[T]^3))
Is it what you had in mind? You remember, of coarse, that you cannot use N as a variable in Mathematica.
Say I have
p=N*kb*T/(V-N*b)-a*N^2/V^2
I want to evaluate the derivative of V with respect to T, keeping p,N,kb,b,a constant.
I understand that this can be done by hand. I just want to know whether this can be done by using mathematica.
I couldnt understand how to use Solve to do this. maybe there is something else I am not aware of
