... κT < 0. Then, ∂V |T = −P implies that A(V ) = − P dV , where the integration takes place along an isotherm. In the range (V1 , V2 ), Avdw (V ) has downward curvature. Now consider the point at Vm = V1 + V2 . We have that Avdw (Vm ) > Avdw (V1 )/2 + Avdw (V2 )/2 = Avdw (V1 /2) + Avdw (V2 /2). (The la ...
