Second Law of Thermodynamics, Gibbs’ Thermodynamics, and Relaxation Times of Thermodynamic Parameters

The relationship between the second law of thermodynamics and Gibbs’ thermodynamics is discussed. The second law of thermodynamics is formulated more generally than Gibbs’ thermodynamics, which considers only strictly equilibrium values of thermodynamic functions. Gibbs’ approach generalizes the sta...
