Figure 1.1 Geometrical model depicting thermodynamic properties of water in Gibbs coordinates. This plaster model, currently in the Beinecke Library at Yale University, was created by noted British physicist James Clark Maxwell as a gift to American thermodynamicist J. Willard Gibbs (see www.pubhc.iastate.edu/ jolls/ for computer-generated representations by Professor K. R. Jolls).

The Maxwell model. One of the first attempts to explain the mechanical behavior of matmals such as pitch and tar was made by James Clark Maxwell. He argued that when a material can undergo viscous flow and also respond elastically to a stress it should be described by a combination of both the Newton and Hooke laws. This assumes that both contributions to the strain are additive so that e= e ias, + e jsc-Expressing this as the dilfeimtial equation leads to the equation of motion of a Maxwell unit... 

Relations, first derived by James Clark Maxwell (the Maxwell equations) can be used to express the state functions of entropy and free energy in terms of physically measurable quantities the coefficient of volume expansion (a) and the isothermal compressibility P).
