Gibbs Free Energy is the appropriate potential when there is both heat exchange and mechanical work (G=E-TS+PV). On the other hand the grand potential is appropriate when there is heat exchange and chemical work (g=E-TS-μN).
Is there any issue in defining a potential of the form (E-TS-μN+PV) such that it is conserved in some ensemble? If there is no problem, is there a consensus on a name for such potential and its corresponding ensemble?
