| In [[thermodynamics]], the '''Helmholtz free energy''' is a [[thermodynamic potential]] that measures the “useful” work obtainable from a [[closed system|closed]] thermodynamic [[thermodynamic system|system]] at a constant temperature. The negative of the difference in the Helmholtz energy is equal to the maximum amount of work that the system can perform in a thermodynamic process in which temperature is held constant. If the volume is not held constant, part of this work will be performed on the environment. The Helmholtz energy is commonly used for systems held at constant volume. Since in this case no work is performed on the environment, the drop in the Helmholtz energy is equal to the maximum amount of useful work that can be extracted from the system. For a system at constant temperature and volume, the Helmholtz energy is minimized at equilibrium.
| |
| | |
| The Helmholtz free energy was developed by [[Hermann von Helmholtz]], a German physicist, and is usually denoted by the letter ''A'' (from the German “Arbeit” or work), or the letter ''F'' . The [[IUPAC]] recommends the letter ''A'' as well as the use of name ''Helmholtz energy''.<ref>{{cite book | title = Gold Book | publisher = [[IUPAC]] | url = http://goldbook.iupac.org/H02772.html | accessdate = 2012-08-19 | doi=10.1351/goldbook}}</ref> In [[physics]], the letter ''F'' can also be used to denote the Helmholtz energy, as Helmholtz energy is sometimes referred to as the ''Helmholtz function,'' ''Helmholtz free energy,'' or simply ''free energy'' (not to be confused with [[Gibbs free energy]]).
| |
| | |
| While [[Gibbs free energy]] is most commonly used as a measure of thermodynamic potential, especially in the field of [[chemistry]], it is inconvenient for some applications that do not occur at constant pressure. For example, in [[explosives]] research, Helmholtz free energy is often used since explosive reactions by their nature induce pressure changes. It is also frequently used to define fundamental [[equation of state|equations of state]] of pure substances.
| |
| | |
| ==Definition==
| |
| The Helmholtz energy is defined as:<ref>Levine, Ira. N. (1978). "''Physical Chemistry''" McGraw Hill: University of Brooklyn</ref> | |
| | |
| :<math>A \equiv U-TS\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where
| |
| | |
| * ''A'' is the Helmholtz free energy ([[SI]]: [[joule]]s, CGS: [[erg]]s),
| |
| * ''U'' is the [[internal energy]] of the system (SI: joules, CGS: ergs),
| |
| * ''T'' is the absolute temperature ([[kelvin]]s),
| |
| * ''S'' is the [[Thermodynamic entropy|entropy]] (SI: joules per kelvin, CGS: ergs per kelvin).
| |
| The Helmholtz energy is the [[Legendre transform]] of the internal energy, ''U'', in which temperature replaces entropy as the independent variable.
| |
| | |
| ==Mathematical development==
| |
| | |
| From the [[first law of thermodynamics]] (with a constant number of particles) we have
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathrm{d}U = \delta Q\ - \delta W\,</math>,
| |
| | |
| where <math>U</math> is the internal energy, <math>\delta Q</math> is the energy added by heating and <math>\delta W</math> is the work done ''by the system''. From the [[second law of thermodynamics]], for a [[reversible process (thermodynamics)|reversible process]] we may say that <math>\delta Q=T\mathrm{d}S</math>. Also, in case of a reversible change, the work done can be expressed as <math>\delta W = p \mathrm{d}V</math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathrm{d}U = T\mathrm{d}S - p\mathrm{d}V\,</math>
| |
| Applying the product rule for differentiation to d(TS) = TdS + SdT, we have:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\mathrm{d}U = d(TS) - S\mathrm{d}T- p\mathrm{d}V\,</math>,
| |
| and:
| |
| :<math>\mathrm{d}(U-TS) = - S\mathrm{d}T - p\mathrm{d}V\,</math>
| |
| The definition of A = U - TS enables to rewrite this as
| |
| :<math>\mathrm{d}A = - S\mathrm{d}T - p\mathrm{d}V\,</math>
| |
| | |
| This relation is also valid for a process that is not reversible because ''A'' is a thermodynamic [[Functions of state|function of state]].
| |
| | |
| ==Work in an Isothermal Process and Equilibrium Conditions==
| |
| The fundamental thermodynamic relation is
| |
| :<math>\mathrm{d}U = \delta Q\ - \delta W\,</math>
| |
| | |
| We can make the substitution
| |
| :<math>\delta Q\leq T\mathrm{d}S\, </math>
| |
| Where equality holds for a reversible process
| |
| | |
| The expression for the internal energy becomes
| |
| :<math> \mathrm{d}U \leq T\mathrm{d}S - \delta W\, </math>
| |
| | |
| If we isolate the work term
| |
| :<math> \mathrm{d}U - T\mathrm{d}S \leq - \delta W\, </math>
| |
| | |
| And note that
| |
| :<math>\mathrm{d}A = \mathrm{d}U - T\mathrm{d}S\, </math>
| |
| | |
| Then
| |
| :<math> \delta W\leq - \mathrm{d}A, </math> (isothermal process)
| |
| Again, equality holds for a reversible process (in which <math> \delta W\, </math> becomes dW) . dW includes all reversible work, mechanical (pressure-volume) work and non-mechanical work (e. g. electrical work).
| |
| | |
| The maximum energy that can be freed for work is the negative of the change in A. The process is nominally isothermal, but it is only important that the system have the same initial and final temperature, and not that it does not change.
| |
| | |
| Now, imagine that our system is also kept at constant volume to prevent work from being done. If temperature and volume are kept constant, then dA = 0; this is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for equilibrium. For any spontaneous process, the change in Helmholtz free energy must be negative, that is <math> A_{f}\leq A_{i},</math>. Therefore, to prevent a spontaneous change, we must also require that A be at a minimum.
| |
| | |
| ==Minimum free energy and maximum work principles==
| |
| The laws of thermodynamics are only directly applicable to systems in thermal equilibrium. If we wish to describe phenomena like chemical reactions, then the best we can do is to consider suitably chosen initial and final states in which the system is in (metastable) thermal equilibrium. If the system is kept at fixed volume and is in contact with a heat bath at some constant temperature, then we can reason as follows.
| |
| | |
| Since the thermodynamical variables of the system are well defined in the initial state and the final state, the internal energy increase, <math>\Delta U</math>, the [[entropy]] increase <math>\Delta S</math>, and the total amount of work that can be extracted, performed by the system, <math>W</math>, are well-defined quantities. Conservation of energy implies:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\Delta U_{\text{bath}} + \Delta U + W = 0\,</math>
| |
| | |
| The volume of the system is kept constant. This means that the volume of the heat bath does not change either and we can conclude that the heat bath does not perform any work. This implies that the amount of heat that flows into the heat bath is given by:
| |
| | |
| :<math>Q_{\text{bath}} = \Delta U_{\text{bath}} =-\left(\Delta U + W\right) \,</math>
| |
| | |
| The heat bath remains in thermal equilibrium at temperature T no matter what the system does. Therefore the entropy change of the heat bath is:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\Delta S_{\text{bath}} = \frac{Q_{\text{bath}}}{T}=-\frac{\Delta U + W}{T} \,</math>
| |
| | |
| The total entropy change is thus given by:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\Delta S_{\text{bath}} +\Delta S= -\frac{\Delta U -T\Delta S+ W}{T} \,</math>
| |
| | |
| Since the system is in thermal equilibrium with the heat bath in the initial and the final states, T is also the temperature of the system in these states. The fact that the system's temperature does not change allows us to express the numerator as the free energy change of the system:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\Delta S_{\text{bath}} +\Delta S=-\frac{\Delta A+ W}{T} \,</math>
| |
| | |
| Since the total change in entropy must always be larger or equal to zero, we obtain the inequality:
| |
| | |
| :<math>W\leq -\Delta A\,</math>
| |
| | |
| If no work is extracted from the system then
| |
| | |
| :<math>\Delta A\leq 0\,</math>
| |
| | |
| We see that for a system kept at constant temperature and volume, the total free energy during a spontaneous change can only decrease, that the total amount of work that can be extracted is limited by the free energy decrease, and that increasing the free energy requires work to be done on the system.
| |
| | |
| This result seems to contradict the equation <math>dA = -S dT - P dV</math>, as keeping T and V constant seems to imply <math>dA = 0</math> and hence <math>A = \text{ constant}</math>. In reality there is no contradiction. After the spontaneous change, the system, as described by thermodynamics, is a different system with a different free energy function than it was before the spontaneous change. Thus, we can say that <math>\Delta A= A_{2} - A_{1}\leq 0</math> where the <math>A_{i}</math> are different thermodynamic functions of state.
| |
| | |
| One can imagine that the spontaneous change is carried out in a sequence of infinitesimally small steps. To describe such a system thermodynamically, one needs to enlarge the thermodynamical state space of the system. In case of a chemical reaction, one must specify the number of particles of each type. The differential of the free energy then generalizes to:
| |
| | |
| :<math>dA = -S dT - p dV + \sum_{j}\mu_{j}dN_{j}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where the <math>N_{j}</math> are the numbers of particles of type j and the <math>\mu_{j}</math> are the corresponding [[chemical potential]]s. This equation is then again valid for both reversible and non-reversible changes. In case of a spontaneous change at constant T and V, the last term will thus be negative.
| |
| | |
| In case there are other external parameters the above equation generalizes to:
| |
| | |
| :<math>dA = -S dT - \sum_{i}X_{i}dx_{i} +\sum_{j}\mu_{j}dN_{j}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| Here the <math>x_{i}</math> are the external variables and the <math>X_{i}</math> the corresponding [[generalized forces]].
| |
| | |
| ==Relation to the canonical partition function==
| |
| A system kept at constant volume, temperature, and particle number is described by the [[canonical ensemble]]. The probability to find the system in some energy eigenstate ''r'' is given by:
| |
| | |
| :<math>P_{r}= \frac{e^{-\beta E_r}}{Z}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where
| |
| | |
| :<math>\beta\equiv\frac{1}{k T}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>E_{r}=\text{ energy of eigenstate }r\,</math>
| |
| | |
| :<math>Z = \sum_{r} e^{-\beta E_{r}}\,</math> | |
| | |
| ''Z'' is called the [[partition function (statistical mechanics)|partition function]] of the system. The fact that the system does not have a unique energy means that the various thermodynamical quantities must be defined as expectation values. In the thermodynamical limit of infinite system size, the relative fluctuations in these averages will go to zero.
| |
| | |
| The average internal energy of the system is the expectation value of the energy and can be expressed in terms of ''Z'' as follows:
| |
| | |
| :<math>U\equiv\left\langle E \right\rangle = \sum_{r}P_{r}E_{r}= -\frac{\partial \log Z}{\partial \beta}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| If the system is in state ''r'', then the generalized force corresponding to an external variable ''x'' is given by
| |
| | |
| :<math>X_{r} = -\frac{\partial E_{r}}{\partial x}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| The thermal average of this can be written as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>X = \sum_{r}P_{r}X_{r}=\frac{1}{\beta}\frac{\partial \log Z}{\partial x}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| Suppose the system has one external variable ''x''. Then changing the system's temperature parameter by <math>d\beta</math> and the external variable by ''dx'' will lead to a change in <math>\log Z</math>:
| |
| | |
| :<math>d\left(\log Z\right)= \frac{\partial\log Z}{\partial\beta}d\beta + \frac{\partial\log Z}{\partial x}dx = -U\,d\beta + \beta X\,dx\, </math>
| |
| | |
| If we write <math>U\,d\beta</math> as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>U\,d\beta = d\left(\beta U\right) - \beta\, dU\,</math>
| |
| | |
| we get:
| |
| | |
| :<math>d\left(\log Z\right)=-d\left(\beta U\right) + \beta\, dU+ \beta X \,dx\, </math>
| |
| | |
| This means that the change in the internal energy is given by:
| |
| | |
| :<math>dU =\frac{1}{\beta}d\left(\log Z+\beta U\right) - X\,dx \,</math>
| |
| | |
| In the thermodynamic limit, the [[fundamental thermodynamic relation]] should hold:
| |
| | |
| :<math>dU = T\, dS - X\, dx\,</math> | |
| | |
| This then implies that the entropy of the system is given by:
| |
| | |
| :<math>S = k\log Z + \frac{U}{T} + c\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where ''c'' is some constant. The value of ''c'' can be determined by considering the limit ''T'' → 0. In this limit the entropy becomes <math>S = k \log \Omega_{0}</math> where <math>\Omega_{0}</math> is the ground state degeneracy. The partition function in this limit is <math>\Omega_{0}e^{-\beta U_{0}}</math> where <math>U_{0}</math> is the ground state energy. Thus, we see that <math>c = 0</math> and that:
| |
| | |
| :<math>A = -kT\log\left(Z\right)\,</math>
| |
| | |
| ==Bogoliubov inequality==
| |
| Computing the free energy is an intractable problem for all but the simplest models in statistical physics. A powerful approximation method is [[mean field theory]], which is a variational method based on the [[Bogoliubov inequality]]. This inequality can be formulated as follows.
| |
| | |
| Suppose we replace the real Hamiltonian <math>H</math> of the model by a trial Hamiltonian <math>\tilde{H}</math>, which has different interactions and may depend on extra parameters that are not present in the original model. If we choose this trial Hamiltonian such that
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle\tilde{H}\right\rangle =\left\langle H\right\rangle\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where both averages are taken with respect to the canonical distribution defined by the trial Hamiltonian <math>\tilde{H}</math>, then
| |
| | |
| :<math>A\leq \tilde{A}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>A</math> is the free energy of the original Hamiltonian and <math>\tilde{A}</math> is the free energy of the trial Hamiltonian. By including a large number of parameters in the trial Hamiltonian and minimizing the free energy we can expect to get a close approximation to the exact free energy.
| |
| | |
| The Bogoliubov inequality is often formulated in a sightly different but equivalent way. If we write the Hamiltonian as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>H = H_{0} + \Delta H\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>H_{0}</math> is exactly solvable, then we can apply the above inequality by defining
| |
| | |
| :<math>\tilde{H} = H_{0} + \left\langle\Delta H\right\rangle_{0}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| Here we have defined <math>\left\langle X\right\rangle_{0}</math> to be the average of X over the canonical ensemble defined by <math>H_{0}</math>. Since <math>\tilde{H}</math> defined this way differs from <math>H_{0}</math> by a constant, we have in general
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle X\right\rangle_{0} =\left\langle X\right\rangle\,</math>
| |
| | |
| Therefore
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle\tilde{H}\right\rangle = \left\langle H_{0} + \left\langle\Delta H\right\rangle\right\rangle =\left\langle H\right\rangle\,</math>
| |
| | |
| And thus the inequality
| |
| | |
| :<math>A\leq \tilde{A}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| holds. The free energy <math>\tilde{A}</math> is the free energy of the model defined by <math>H_{0}</math> plus <math>\left\langle\Delta H\right\rangle</math>. This means that
| |
| | |
| :<math>\tilde{A}=\left\langle H_{0}\right\rangle_{0} - T S_{0} + \left\langle\Delta H\right\rangle_{0}=\left\langle H\right\rangle_{0} - T S_{0}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| and thus:
| |
| | |
| :<math>A\leq \left\langle H\right\rangle_{0} - T S_{0} \,</math>
| |
| | |
| ===Proof===
| |
| | |
| For a classical model we can prove the Bogoliubov inequality as follows. We denote the canonical probability distributions for the Hamiltonian and the trial Hamiltonian by <math>P_{r}</math> and <math>\tilde{P}_{r}</math>, respectively. The inequality:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\sum_{r} \tilde{P}_{r}\log\left(\tilde{P}_{r}\right)\geq \sum_{r} \tilde{P}_{r}\log\left(P_{r}\right) \,</math>
| |
| | |
| then holds. To see this, consider the difference between the left hand side and the right hand side. We can write this as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\sum_{r} \tilde{P}_{r}\log\left(\frac{\tilde{P}_{r}}{P_{r}}\right) \,</math>
| |
| | |
| Since
| |
| | |
| :<math>\log\left(x\right)\geq 1 - \frac{1}{x}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| it follows that:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\sum_{r} \tilde{P}_{r}\log\left(\frac{\tilde{P}_{r}}{P_{r}}\right)\geq \sum_{r}\left(\tilde{P}_{r} - P_{r}\right) = 0 \,</math>
| |
| | |
| where in the last step we have used that both probability distributions are normalized to 1.
| |
| | |
| We can write the inequality as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle\log\left(\tilde{P}_{r}\right)\right\rangle\geq \left\langle\log\left(P_{r}\right)\right\rangle\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where the averages are taken with respect to <math>\tilde{P}_{r}</math>. If we now substitute in here the expressions for the probability distributions:
| |
| | |
| :<math>P_{r}=\frac{\exp\left[-\beta H\left(r\right)\right]}{Z}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| and
| |
| | |
| :<math>\tilde{P}_{r}=\frac{\exp\left[-\beta\tilde{H}\left(r\right)\right]}{\tilde{Z}}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| we get:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle -\beta \tilde{H} - \log\left(\tilde{Z}\right)\right\rangle\geq \left\langle -\beta H - \log\left(Z\right)\right\rangle</math>
| |
| | |
| Since the averages of <math>H</math> and <math>\tilde{H}</math> are, by assumption, identical we have:
| |
| | |
| :<math>A\leq\tilde{A}</math>
| |
| | |
| Here we have used that the partition functions are constants with respect to taking averages and that the free energy is proportional to minus the logarithm of the partition function.
| |
| | |
| We can easily generalize this proof to the case of quantum mechanical models. We denote the eigenstates of <math>\tilde{H}</math> by <math>\left|r\right\rangle</math>. We denote the diagonal components of the density matrices for the canonical distributions for <math>H</math> and <math>\tilde{H}</math> in this basis as:
| |
| | |
| :<math>P_{r}=\left\langle r\left|\frac{\exp\left[-\beta H\right]}{Z}\right|r\right\rangle\,</math>
| |
| | |
| and
| |
| | |
| :<math>\tilde{P}_{r}=\left\langle r\left|\frac{\exp\left[-\beta\tilde{H}\right]}{\tilde{Z}}\right|r\right\rangle=\frac{\exp\left(-\beta\tilde{E}_{r}\right)}{\tilde{Z}}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| where the <math>\tilde{E}_{r}</math> are the eigenvalues of <math>\tilde{H}</math>
| |
| | |
| We assume again that the averages of H and <math>\tilde{H}</math> in the canonical ensemble defined by <math>\tilde{H}</math> are the same:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle\tilde{H}\right\rangle = \left\langle H\right\rangle \,</math>
| |
| | |
| where
| |
| :<math>\left\langle H\right\rangle = \sum_{r}\tilde{P}_{r}\left\langle r\left|H\right|r\right\rangle\,</math>
| |
| | |
| The inequality
| |
| | |
| :<math>\sum_{r} \tilde{P}_{r}\log\left(\tilde{P}_{r}\right)\geq \sum_{r} \tilde{P}_{r}\log\left(P_{r}\right) \,</math>
| |
| | |
| still holds as both the <math>P_{r}</math> and the <math>\tilde{P}_{r}</math> sum to 1. On the l.h.s. we can replace:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\log\left(\tilde{P}_{r}\right)= -\beta \tilde{E}_{r} - \log\left(\tilde{Z}\right)\,</math>
| |
| | |
| On the right hand side we can use the inequality
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle\exp\left(X\right)\right\rangle_{r}\geq\exp\left(\left\langle X\right\rangle_{r}\right)\,</math>
| |
| where we have introduced the notation
| |
| | |
| :<math>\left\langle Y\right\rangle_{r}\equiv\left\langle r\left|Y\right|r\right\rangle\,</math>
| |
| | |
| for the expectation value of the operator Y in the state r. [[Jensen's inequality#Statistical physics|See here]] for a proof. Taking the logarithm of this inequality gives:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\log\left[\left\langle\exp\left(X\right)\right\rangle_{r}\right]\geq\left\langle X\right\rangle_{r}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| This allows us to write:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\log\left(P_{r}\right)=\log\left[\left\langle\exp\left(-\beta H - \log\left(Z\right)\right)\right\rangle_{r}\right]\geq\left\langle -\beta H - \log\left(Z\right)\right\rangle_{r}\,</math>
| |
| | |
| The fact that the averages of H and <math>\tilde{H}</math> are the same then leads to the same conclusion as in the classical case:
| |
| | |
| :<math>A\leq\tilde{A}</math>
| |

| The Helmholtz free energy function for a pure substance (together with its partial derivatives) can be used to determine all other thermodynamic properties for the substance. See, for example, the equations of state for [[water]], as given by the [[IAPWS]] in their [http://www.iapws.org/relguide/IAPWS95-Rev.pdf IAPWS-95] release.
