The study investigates the thermodynamic properties with Hua potential. First, the energy of the system is derived by solving the Schrodinger equation using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method. The vibration partition function and other thermodynamic properties such as vibrational mean energy U, free energy F, entropy S and specific heat capacity C are then obtained. These thermodynamic functions are represented using various plots.
