Helmholtz energy function

Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz Definition:

$\left.A\right.=U-TS$

(TS) is a conjugate pair. The differential of this function is

but from the Second law equation one obtains

thus one arrives at

leading finally to

For A(T,V) one has the following total differential

$dA=\left({\frac {\partial A}{\partial T}}\right)_{V}dT+\left({\frac {\partial A}{\partial V}}\right)_{T}dV$

Good for $NVT$
