Dr. J. Willard Gibbs Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839 - 1903) has been reckoned as one of the greatest American scientists of the 19th century. He provided a sound thermodynamic foundation to much of Physical Chemistry. "Gibbs' Phase Rule" is well known to all in the field today. Yale educated, he was awarded the first Doctor of Engineering in the U.S., and was appointed Professor of Mathematical Physics at Yale in 1871. In 1873 he published his first major works, "Graphical Methods in the Thermodynamics of Fluids," and "A Method of Geometrical Representation of the Thermodynamic Properties of Substances by Means of Surfaces". In 1876 came his most famous paper: "On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances."

American Gibbs, Josiah (1839-1903) American physicist who formulated a concept of thermodynamic equilibrium of a system in terms of energy and entropy His work, however, was published in a relatively obscure journal. Gibbs' contributions were therefore unknown among prominent European chemists until they were translated into German by Ostwald in 1892 and into French by in 1899. Gibbs reviewed the relationship between the laws of thermodynamics and statistical theory of molecular motions in Elementary Principles in Statistical Mechanics (1902). He also did extensive work on chemical equilibrium, and equilibria between phases.

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. H istorians don't like superlatives. It's too easy to be wrong when you use words like first and best. Yet I shall introduce you to the greatest American scientist, and he's someone you may never even have heard of. His name is Josiah Willard Gibbs Gibbs was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1839. He lived his entire life in the same house and died there in 1903. He was the seventh in an unbroken line of American academics stretching all the way back to the 17th century. His father was a noted professor of linguistics at Yale. And what did Gibbs do? Well, he created the entire subject of chemical thermodynamics. He wrote vector analysis. He invented statistical mechanics and developed it as far as it would go before quantum mechanics could take it further. Other great scientists contribute to fields. Gibbs created three entire fields pulled them out of his empyrean mind and gave them life. He did nothing to invite fame hardly traveled, didn't collaborate, never married, and published most of his stuff in the obscure

States of Matter Phase Transitions Thermodynamics Equilibrium ... Rovnyak Gibbs' Phase Rule This entry contributed by David Rovnyak In work on heterogeneous equilibria published in 1875-1876, J. Willard Gibbs derived a simple rule which determines the number of degrees of freedom for a heterogeneous system in equilibrium. The number of degrees of freedom for a system is the number of intensive variables (often taken as the pressure P temperature T , and composition fraction) that may be arbitrarily specified without changing the number of phases If a system in equilibrium contains P phases and C components then the phase rule states that the number of degrees of freedom is given by Note that great care must be taken in correctly determining C , which is the number of chemically independent species. Specifically, attention must be paid to equilibria among chemical species. In particular, consider the following two examples. First, suppose there are two chemicals in a single phase in a system. If they are related by a known equilibrium then this system has 1 component and F = 2. Second, consider a gas phase system (again

Selected Papers HOME PREFACE AFTERWORD PDF ... ROWLAND GIBBS MILLIKAN COMPTON J OSIAH W ILLARD G IBBS In 1900 there were at most a thousand physicists in the world. About one-fourth of these were in the United States, more than in any other single country; American physics had finally come to the level prevailing in the old European nations. Nevertheless American physicists were not making great discoveries as often as their numbers would suggest. This was partly because many of them were in colleges where research was still only tolerated rather than encouraged, and partly because Americans were notoriously weak in theoretical physics. interest in both mathematics and engineering, which he combined in his dissertation "On the Form of the Teeth of Wheels in Spur Gearing." The lectures he attended in Paris, Berlin and Heidelberg, given by some of the greatest men of the day, changed him once and for all. In 1871, two years after his return from Europe, he became Yale's first Professor of Mathematical Physics. He had not yet published any papers on this subject. For nine years he held the position without pay, living on the comfortable inheritance his father had left; only when Johns Hopkins University offered Gibbs a post did Yale give him a small salary. Gibbs' chief scientific papers appeared in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences. The articles were expensive to set in type because of their length and their wealth of mathematical formulas, so funds were raised by subscription from Yale professors and New Haven businessmen, few or none of whom could understand the publication they were subsidizing.

No. 1483: GIBBS AND VISUALIZATION by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1484. Today, a glimpse into the mind of J. Willard Gibbs. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. W hen I spoke at Yale University a while back, I met a blind student doing his doctorate in genetics a field that depends heavily on pictures and patterns. What he and I talked about was visualization. At first that may seem contradictory, but ask yourself: Who does more mental visualization: we sighted people or that student who didn't have the use of his eyes? He was obviously very good at recreating the three-dimensional world around him in his head. I ask you to try an experiment. Close your eyes and walk around your house or apartment, guiding yourself by recollection and mental reconstruction. Either you'll manage to recreate your material world in your mind, or you'll end up hopelessly lost in your own house. Now meet another Yale student

In the spring of 1873 J. Willard Gibbs published the first of his three great papers, "Graphical Methods in the Thermodynamics of Fluids." The first sentence of that paper has provided continuing motivation for the work described here and in earlier publications from this laboratory: "Although geometrical representations of propositions in the thermodynamics of fluids are in general use and have done good service in disseminating clear notions in this science, yet they have by no means received the extension in respect to variety and generality of which they are capable." authors: Kenneth R.

18. J W Gibbs, Gibbs Models: Computer-visualized Thermodynamic Surfaces I showed our first set of purefluid models at the gibbs Symposium, a meeting organized by Professor Klein at Yale in honor of J. willard gibbs 150th birthday http://www.public.iastate.edu/~jolls/dedication.html

Motivation and History, a Dedication My interest in the visual models shown in this collection and, more generally, in the postulatory approach to thermodynamics arose from the first editions of the textbook by Modell and Reid, Thermodynamics and Its Applications , Prentice-Hall, 1974, 1983. I believe that the attention paid in that book to the Legendre transform and to the crucial role played by stability theory in any thorough understanding of classical thermodynamics makes it an essential resource for the serious student. While on leave at the University of California at Berkeley in the early 1980s, working in Professor John Prausnitz' research group, my attention was first called to Gibbs' writings by a reviewer for The Journal of Chemical Education , Dr. Henry A. Bent, former Professor of Chemistry at North Carolina State University and at the University of Pittsburgh. While I was far from the first person to appreciate the visualizability of Gibbs' equations, I believe I was the first to try to create those drawings using computer graphics. I was assisted in the early stages of the work by Iowa State University graduate student Michael C. Schmitz ("Visualizing thermodynamic concepts through high-performance computer graphics," M.S. in ChE, ISU, 1991). Using a Silicon Graphics IRIS 3030 workstation, Michael created the first computer-drawn fundamental-equation surface in 1988 — the Helmholtz energy of a pure fluid. Daniel C. Coy was my graduate student from 1988 through 1993 and is wholly responsible for the collection of drawings shown here. He developed the generating equations (for multicomponent systems, using extensive variables), wrote the convergence schemes to solve those equations, and created a transformation matrix that enabled him to plot any combination of thermodynamic variables attainable through the Legendre transformation. Dan also developed schemes for tessellating the surfaces so as to yield geometry files compatible with MOVIE.BYU graphics software. Dr. Coy's dissertation was an exemplary piece of scientific research and is mentioned elsewhere in this website.
