Sir,
Among the following which is not a thermodynamical potential:
Entropy,Internal energy, Gibbs free energy,Enthalpy
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Nobody's going to just give you the answer. What are your thoughts on it? Do you know what a thermodynamic potential is?

Sir,
Could you please explain the meaning of thermodynamic potential?
 
In simple terms

the U representation

[tex]U=U\left(S,\{X_{i}\}_{i=\bar{1,n}}\right)[/tex]

then a thermodynamic potential is a Legendre transformation of the internal energy wrt one or more intensive parameters associated to S and the external extensive parameters...
