These four statements are also sufficient to guarantee that this kinetic system is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics, i.e., that the Gibbs free energy of the system decreases as the reaction proceeds to equilibrium for isothermal, isobaric systems. Statements (1) through (4) may be taken as the axiomatic formulation of monomolecular systems and the properties that we have discussed in the above sections are consequences of them. Further discussions of the equilibrium point and the convergence to it will be found in Section VII. 

For notational convenience, we shall discuss a two-component mixture of A and B. The generalization for multicomponent system is quite straightforward. We consider a system of two components in the T, P, NA, NB ensemble. We have chosen the T, P, NA, NB ensemble because the isothermal-isobaric systems are the most common ones in actual experiments. By very similar components, we mean, in the present context, that the potential energy of interaction among a group of n molecules in a configuration X is independent of the species we... 

The basic empirical relation to estimate the rate of molecular difussion, first postulated by Fick (1855) and, accordingly, often referred to as Fick s first law, quantifies the diffusion of component A in an isothermal, isobaric system. According to Fields law, a species can have a velocity relative to the mass or molar-average veloc-... 

At about the same time that Maxwell and Stefan were developing their ideas of diffusion in multicomponent mixtures, Adolf Fick and others were attempting to uncover the basic diffusion equations through experimental studies involving binary mixtures (Fick, 1855). The result of Fick s work was the law that bears his name. The Fick equation for a binary mixture in an isothermal, isobaric system is... 

In an isothermal isobaric system in which no chemical reactions can occur, no free charges are present, and upon which no external forces act, Eq. (13.3.10) reduces to... 

An isothermal-isobaric system exchanges energy with the bath in such a way as to maintain the constant temperature at the same time the volume fluctuates to control the pressure. The state of the system can be expressed in terms of particle positions and momenta as well as the volume V, i.e. we think of the probabiUty... 

Abstract Fluctuation Theory of Solutions or Fluctuation Solution Theory (FST) combines aspects of statistical mechanics and solution thermodynamics, with an emphasis on the grand canonical ensemble of the former. To understand the most common applications of FST one needs to relate fluctuations observed for a grand canonical system, on which FST is based, to properties of an isothermal-isobaric system, which is the most common type of system studied experimentally. Alternatively, one can invert the whole process to provide experimental information concerning particle number (density) fluctuations, or the local composition, from the available thermodynamic data. In this chapter, we provide the basic background material required to formulate and apply FST to a variety of applications. The major aims of this section are (i) to provide a brief introduction or recap of the relevant thermodynamics and statistical thermodynamics behind the formulation and primary uses of the Fluctuation Theory of Solutions (ii) to establish a consistent notation which helps to emphasize the similarities between apparently different applications of FST and (iii) to provide the working expressions for some of the potential applications of FST. 

In this section, we consider a system of two components in the T, P, a b ensemble. Similar arguments and results apply to multicomponent systems. We have chosen the T, P, Na, ensemble because the isothermal-isobaric systems are the most common ones in actual experiments. 

Postulate 1.5.1 states that S u )—S(u) is a Liapounov function for an isolated system. Other types of closed systems have, in accordance to the second law of thermodynamics, their own potential or Liapounov functions. For example, an isothermal-isobaric system has the Gibbs free energy G(u)—G(u ), an isothermal-isochoric system has the Helmholtz free energy y4(u) —y4(u ). 

The flux expression (3.1.88) clearly shows how is increased by the presence of [7, the displacement or migration velocity of species i in the z-direction due to forces that lead to separation. The corresponding expression for t/te in an isothermal isobaric system is given by... 

For an isothermal, isobaric system of unchanging size and composition, ydA = w is the reversible work required to incrementally create additional surface. The energy of a surface can be altered by a change in either y or A. Changes in the...
