From Discrete to Continuous Process Simulation in Classical Thermodynamics: Irreversible Expansions of Ideal Monatomic Gases
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Álvarez-Rúa, Carmen; Borge, Javier – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Thermodynamic processes are complex phenomena that can be understood as a set of successive stages. When treating processes, classical thermodynamics (and most particularly, the Gibbsian formulation, predominantly used in chemistry) only pays attention to initial and final states. However, reintroducing the notion of process is absolutely…
