Gibbs-Curie theorem

Making use of Eqs. (2) and (3) the condition for the equilibrium form dO = 0, dV = 0 leads to Wulff s rule (Gibbs-Curie-Wulff theorem [iii-v]) generalized by - Kaischew [i] to account for the crystal-substrate interaction ... 

The capabilities of MEIS and the models of kinetics and nonequilibrium thermodynamics were compared based on the theoretical analysis and concrete examples. The main MEIS advantage was shown to consist in simplicity of initial assumptions on the equilibrium of modeled processes, their possible description by using the autonomous differential equations and the monotonicity of characteristic thermodynamic functions. Simplicity of the assumptions and universality of the applied principles of equilibrium and extremality lead to the lack of need in special formalized descriptions that automatically satisfy the Gibbs phase rule, the Prigogine theorem, the Curie principle, and some other factors comparative simplicity of the applied mathematical apparatus (differential equations are replaced by algebraic and transcendent ones) and easiness of initial information preparation possibility of sufficiently complete consideration of specific features of the modeled phenomena.
