The main objectives of phenomenological thermodynamics are: (i)Characterization of thermodynamical quasi-equilibrium states (Gibbs’ fundamental equation of Section 67.2).(ii)Characterization of thermodynamical processes (laws of thermodynamics of Section 67.4).(iii)Computation of thermodynamical equilibrium states from quasi-equilibrium states (extremal properties of thermodynamical potentials of Section 67.6).
