Gibbs energy formula

Gibbs energy differential cannot be integrated directly using the Euler’s theorem on homogeneous functions but it can be derived via its definition and the relation for internal energy.

Notes:

  1. This formula works for a single-component system. For a multi-component system replace the right-hand side with a sum over each type of components.
