Specifics of representation of thermodynamic functions in the method of thermodynamic potential minimization

The type of physicochemical model dictates the choice of a minimized thermodynamic potential that provides the most adequate description of specific features of a natural or technological process. In the developed approach, the Gibbs energy was selected as the basis potential, and other thermodynamic potentials were considered as functions of G ( T, P ) and thermodynamic parameters with inclusion of independent factors of state. The presented thermodynamic functions of individual substances can be used in minimization of all basic thermodynamic potentials regardless of the conditions of existence of modeled systems.
