A thermodynamic free entropy is an entropic thermodynamic potential analogous to the free energy. Also known as a Massieu, Planck, or Massieu–Planck potentials (or functions), or (rarely) free information. In statistical mechanics, free entropies frequently appear as the logarithm of a partition function. The Onsager reciprocal relations in particular, are developed in terms of entropic potentials. In mathematics, free entropy means something quite different: it is a generalization of entropy defined in the subject of free probability. A free entropy is generated by a Legendre transform of the entropy. The different potentials correspond to different constraints to which the system may be subjected. ==Examples== The most common examples are: U + \frac V - \sum_^s \frac N_i \, | |align="center"| |- |Massieu potential \ Helmholtz free entropy | | |align="center"| |- |Planck potential \ Gibbs free entropy | | |align="center"| |} where :: is entropy :: is the Massieu potential〔 〕 :: is the Planck potential〔 :: is internal energy :: is temperature :: is pressure :: is volume :: is Helmholtz free energy :: is Gibbs free energy :: is number of particles (or number of moles) composing the ''i''-th chemical component :: is the chemical potential of the ''i''-th chemical component :: is the total number of components :: is the th components. Note that the use of the terms "Massieu" and "Planck" for explicit Massieu-Planck potentials are somewhat obscure and ambiguous. In particular "Planck potential" has alternative meanings. The most standard notation for an entropic potential is , used by both Planck and Schrödinger. (Note that Gibbs used to denote the free energy.) Free entropies where invented by French engineer Francois Massieu in 1869, and actually predate Gibbs's free energy (1875). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Free entropy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
