• Resumen

  • A graphical formalism based on an entropy representation of the thermodynamic diagram can be used to derive the many relations to which the Massieu functions give rise, including the Planck Y function. The simplicity of this graphical formalism for simple, one-component thermodynamic systems seems particularly advantageous in defining the Massieu functions and in deriving a series of entropic relations, which can be further elaborated by the aid of the energy representation of the thermodynamic diagram.
