  2. Spontaneous process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_process

    When ΔS > 0 and ΔH < 0, the process is always spontaneous as written. When ΔS < 0 and ΔH > 0, the process is never spontaneous, but the reverse process is always spontaneous. When ΔS > 0 and ΔH > 0, the process will be spontaneous at high temperatures and non-spontaneous at low temperatures. When ΔS < 0 and ΔH < 0, the process will be ...

  3. Thermodynamic free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_free_energy

    For a process at constant temperature and pressure without non-PV work, this inequality transforms into <. Similarly, for a process at constant temperature and volume, <. Thus, a negative value of the change in free energy is a necessary condition for a process to be spontaneous; this is the most useful form of the second law of thermodynamics ...

    Schematic of SPDC process. Note that conservation laws are with respect to energy and momentum inside the crystal.. Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (also known as SPDC, parametric fluorescence or parametric scattering) is a nonlinear instant optical process that converts one photon of higher energy (namely, a pump photon) into a pair of photons (namely, a signal photon, and an idler ...

  6. Second law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics

    or dG < 0. For a similar process at constant temperature and volume, the change in Helmholtz free energy must be negative, <. Thus, a negative value of the change in free energy (G or A) is a necessary condition for a process to be spontaneous. This is the most useful form of the second law of thermodynamics in chemistry, where free-energy ...

  7. Rubber band experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_band_experiment

    The T-V diagram of the rubber band experiment. The decrease in the temperature of the rubber band in a spontaneous process at ambient temperature can be explained using the Helmholtz free energy = where dF is the change in free energy, dL is the change in length, τ is the tension, dT is the change in temperature and S is the entropy.

    For example, concentration gradients in ethanol solutions in water move 1 μm diameter colloidal particles with diffusiophoretic velocities of order 0.1 to 1 μm/s, the movement is towards regions of the solution with lower ethanol concentration (and so higher water concentration). [6]
