Gibbs Function
The Gibbs function is also known as the Gibbs free energy and is defined in terms of temperature, T, the enthalpy, H, and entropy, S, such that :
G = H - TS.
In a thermodynamic process with no composition change, the change in Gibbs function is given by:
dG = dH - TdS - SdT.
Using the combined first and second laws, dU = TdS - PdV and dH = TdS + VdP gives:
dG = VdP -SdT
For a constant pressure process: (dG/dT)p = - S, and for a constant temperature process:(dG/dP)T = V, where V is the volume of the system.
