Thermodynamics - the Gibbs way After reading thisbook, I realised that much of what has been printed in modern texts often starts out with an approximation but the reader is not told that it is an approximation.This leads to confusion.In the Gibbs work, the reader is always aware of the approximations involved.For example, Gibbs built his themodynamics by starting with the simplest assumtpions, and then successively adding detail.Much of what is reported in modern texts is based on the initial assumption and ignores the later detail.For example, modern texts usually 'gloss-over' the study of capillarity.One would conclude from that treatment that Gibbs perhaps did no work on capillarity.However, on the contrary, Gibbs gave a very comprehensive (and remarkable) treatment of capillarity. The papers in the book are at times hard to read, because they use follow a strict mathematical logic, and because Gibbs often says " it follows that ...". In many cases, it was not obvious to me how "it followed that ...".Nevertheless, this is a must-read for anyone interested in thermodynamics, and the Gibbs treatment is usually clearer than that given in modern texts. Thoroughly recommended, and this book is now my prime reference on thermodynamics.
Gibbs's important but obscure masterpiece Someof my views on thermodynamics are given in: D. J. Bottomley, Jpn. J. Appl.Phys. Part 2, vol. 36, L1464 (1997). ... Read more |
