Most of the thermodynamic relations that you will see are based on converting from one set of variables to another. Having specified $\mu$ and $T$, all other intensive thermodynamic variables are defined. For example, $\rho$ and $P$ may each be expressed as a function of those two. Usually, the function is not known (except for a few exactly soluble models), but that doesn't matter. | |
