Gibbs free energy fusion

Thermochemical Properties mostly covers heats of formation, Gibbs free energy, entropies, and heat capacities. For many compounds, heats of fusion and vaporization are included.

The melting point is defined as the temperature at which the liquid is in equilibrium with the solid so that the difference in Gibbs free energy between the two phases is zero. The entropy of fusion can then be expressed as.

In CPA-rich blends, both the enthalpy and entropy of mixing are positive and, as a result, the Gibbs free energy of mixing (which is the difference between a relatively large enthalpy term and a smaller entropy term) would also become positive. The process may be similar to the isothermal fusion of CPA crystallites present in its structure under the influence of chitosan, which acts as a macromolecular solvent in the blend. The need for CPA fusion is an obstacle to its compatibility with chitosan, and the blends would tend to phase-separate, at least potentially. 

High-temperature vaporization behaviors that yield high-temperature thermodynamic data such as activity and enthalpy are necessary for uses as nuclear reactor and fusion materials. High-temperature activity measurements make it possible to determine the Gibbs free energy of formation of compounds from the elements. Accurate high-temperature thermodynamic data serve to establish temperature-composition phase diagrams, i.e., limits for the formation of binary phases. 

According to Ehrenfest S a first-order transition is one for which the free energy as a function of any given state variable (F, P, T) is continuous, but the first partial derivatives of the free energy with respect to the relevant state variables are discontinuous. Thus, if the Gibbs free energy G at the transition temperature is continuous, but dG/dT)p and (dG/dP) are discontinuous, we have a first-order transition. At a typical first-order transition point, such as fusion or vaporization, there is a discontinuity in entropy S, volume V and enthalpy ff, since ...
