\[\left(\frac{\partial \mathrm{U}}{\partial \mathrm{V}}\right)_{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{T} \,\left(\frac{\partial \mathrm{p}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}\right)_{\mathrm{V}}-\mathrm{p} \nonumber \]
The partial differential \((\partial \mathrm{U} / \partial \mathrm{V})_{\mathrm{T}}\) (with units, \(\mathrm{N m}^{-2}\)) is the internal pressure \(\pi_{\mathrm{int}}\).
\[\pi_{\mathrm{int}}=\mathrm{T} \, \beta_{\mathrm{V}}-\mathrm{p} \nonumber \]
\(\pi_{\mathrm{int}\) describes the sensitivity of energy \(\mathrm{U}\) to a change in volume. A high \(\phi_{\mathrm{int}\) implies strong inter-molecular cohesion [1-8]. For many liquids, \(\mathrm{T} \, \boldsymbol{\beta}_{\mathrm{V}}>>\mathrm{p}\) such that
\[(\partial \mathrm{U} / \partial \mathrm{V})_{\mathrm{T}} \cong \mathrm{T} \, \beta_{\mathrm{V}} \nonumber \]
\(\mathrm{T} \, \boldsymbol{\beta}_{\mathrm{V}}\) is sometimes called the thermal pressure. By definition, for \(\mathrm{n}\) moles of a perfect gas,
\[\mathrm{p} \, \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{n} \, \mathrm{R} \, \mathrm{T} \nonumber \]
Then
\[\mathrm{V} \,\left(\frac{\partial \mathrm{p}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}\right)_{\mathrm{V}}=\mathrm{n} \, \mathrm{R} \nonumber \]
Or,
\[\mathrm{T} \,\left(\frac{\partial \mathrm{p}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}\right)_{\mathrm{V}}=\mathrm{n} \, \mathrm{R} \, \mathrm{T} / \mathrm{V}=\mathrm{p} \nonumber \]
From equation (a), for a perfect gas, \(\left(\frac{\partial \mathrm{U}}{\partial \mathrm{V}}\right)_{\mathrm{T}}\) is zero.
The internal pressure for water(\(\ell\)) presents an interesting puzzle [9]. From equations (a) and (c), it follows that [1]
\[\pi_{\mathrm{int}}=\mathrm{T} \,\left(\frac{\alpha_{\mathrm{p}}}{\kappa_{\mathrm{T}}}\right)-\mathrm{p} \nonumber \]
But at the temperature of maximum density (TMD), \(\alpha_{p}\) is zero. So near the TMD, \(\pi_{\mathrm{int}\) is zero. We understand this pattern if we think about hydrogen bonding. In order to form a strong hydrogen bond between two neighboring water molecules the O-H---O link has to be close to if not actually linear. In other words the molar volume for water(\(\ell\)) is larger than the molar volume of a system comprising close-packed water molecules. Consequently hydrogen bonding has a strong ‘repulsive’ component to intermolecular interaction. However once formed hydrogen bonding has a strong cohesive contribution to intermolecular forces. Hence for water between \(273\) and \(298 \mathrm{~K}\) cohesive and repulsive components of hydrogen bonding play almost competitive roles.
Footnotes
[1] Using a calculus operation, \(\left(\frac{\partial p}{\partial T}\right)_{V}=-\left(\frac{\partial V}{\partial T}\right)_{p} \,\left(\frac{\partial p}{\partial V}\right)_{T}\) For equilibrium properties,
\[\left(\frac{\partial \mathrm{p}}{\partial \mathrm{T}}\right)_{\mathrm{V}}=\frac{\alpha_{\mathrm{p}}}{\kappa_{\mathrm{T}}} \nonumber \]
[2] Some authors use the term ‘isochoric thermal pressure coefficient’ for the property, \(\left(\frac{\partial p}{\partial T}\right)_{V}\)
