Abstract: Abstract We present in this chapter an axiomatic formulation of thermodynamics in order to introduce free energies in a very general manner and to prove certain fundamental properties of these quantities. For most of the discussion, no underlying model is assumed, in contrast to the previous chapter. However, in the context of an equivalence relation between states, we ascribe a form to the work function consistent with the general nonisothermal theory introduced in Chapter 5.
