Mathematically working out the conditions for equilibrium in mixed substances, Gibbs arrived at certain abstruse but beautifully logical rules of energy exchange. His work thus held the key to the efficient handling of mixed substances in industry. Gibbs had no interest in technology, and technologists took quite a while to uncover, understand and apply his work to their own problems. Now that this has been done, however, the Gibbs rules have enormously...
