Conjugate means joined together in a pair, and "conjugate variables" are pairs of variables closely related to each other. An important conjugate variable pair in thermodynamics is [[pressure]] and [[volume]]. Another important conjugate variable pair is [[temperature]] and [[entropy]]. | Conjugate means joined together in a pair, and "conjugate variables" are pairs of variables closely related to each other.
