DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Treatise on Thermodynamics Such difficulties are avoided by the second method, developed by Helmholtz. It confines itself to the most important hypothesis of the mechanical theory of heat, that heat is due to motion, but refuses on principle to specialize as to the character of this motion. This is a safer point of View than the first, and philosophically quite as satisfactory as the mechanical interpretation of nature in general, but it does not as yet offer a foundation of sufficient breadth upon which to build a detailed theory. Starting from this point of view, all that can be obtained is the verification of some general laws which have already been deduced in other. Ways direct from experience.

If we assume that in a state of equilibrium the available energy of a system is a minimum it follows immediately that the conditions of equilibrium can be deduced from the equations of reversible thermodynamics and that it is only when the stability of the equilibrium is discussed that recourse must be had to the inequalities of irreversible thermodynamics.

Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ...certain circumstances, be expressed in the form of a condition for a maximum or minimum. This can be done when, and only when, the conditions imposed upon the system are such that the lefthand side of (76) represents the variation of some one function. The most important of these cases are dealt with separately in the following paragraphs. They correspond exactly to the propositions which we have already deduced for special cases. From these propositions it may at once be seen whether it is a case of a maximum or a minimum. 150. First Case ( 141).--If no exchange of heat take place with the surrounding medium, the first law gives SU = W, hence, by (76), 8 = 0 (77) Among all the states of the system which can proceed from one another by adiabatic processes, the state of equilibrium is distinguished by a maximum of the entropy. Should there be several states in which the entropy has a maximum value, each one of them is a state of equilibrium; but if the entropy be greater in one than in all the others, then that state represents absolutely stable equilibrium, for it could no longer be the starting-point of any change whatsoever. 151. Second Case ( 142).--If the temperature be kept constant, equation (76) passes into and, by (71), -SF =-W. Among all the states which the system may assume at a given temperature, a state of equilibrium is characterized by the fact that the free energy of the system cannot decrease without performing an equivalent amount of work. If the external work be a negligible quantity, as it is when the volume is kept constant or in numerous chemical processes, then W = 0, and the condition of equilibrium becomes SF = 0, -i.e. among the states which can proceed from one another by isothermal...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Dynamics: Containing Applications to Thermodynamics, With Numerous Examples Although in recent years several important works on Dynamics have been published in England, yet none have been issued which seem to fill the role contemplated in this book. In its composition we have started from the most ele mentary conceptions, so that any Student who is acquainted with the conditions of Equilibrium and with the notation of the Calculus can commence the Treatise without requiring the previous study of any other work on the subject. The first half contains a tolerably full treatment of what is usually styled the Dynamics of a Particle. The latter half treats of the Kinematics and Kinetics of Rigid Bodies; and throughout we have kept the practical nature of the subject in view, and have, in general, avoided purely fancy problems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Thermodynamics and Chemistry: A Non-Mathematical Treatise for Chemists and Students of Chemistry I am glad, in the first place, to have my treatise rendered easily accessible to American students; one of the objects which I had in mind when writing it was to make the work of J. Willard Gibbs known and admired; I like to think it will contribute to enhance, within your active universities, the glory of your illustrious countryman. Furthermore, this glory is more and more resplendent every day; more and more clearly the author of the phase law appears as the initiator of a chemical revolution; and many do not hesitate to compare the Yale College professor to our Lavoisier. Chemists had fixed upon a certain number of properties by which they recognized a substance to be a definite compound; these characteristics are effaced by the phase rule; many substances, to which formulae had been attributed, are erased from the number of combinations; chemical science as a whole needs a revision at which the laboratories of America and Europe are working most diligently.
