Bharathiyar College of Engineering and Technology APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS

Unit III- thermodynamic properties and its relation 1. The term (u Ts) is known as Helmholtz function. 2. g = h T.s is known as Gibbs function or free energy function 3. A system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium if, when it is isolated from its surroundings, there would be no macroscopically observable changes. 4. Entropy approaches a maximum as a state of equilibrium is approached.
