[[Willard Gibbs’ 1873 available energy (free energy) graph, which shows a plane perpendicular to the axis of v (volume) and passing through point A, which represents the initial state of the body. MN is the section of the surface of dissipated energy. Qε and Qη are sections of the planes η = 0 and ε = 0, and therefore parallel to the axes of ε (internal energy) and η (entropy) respectively. AD and AE are the energy and entropy of the body in its initial state, AB and AC its available energy (Gibbs energy) and its capacity for entropy (the amount by which the entropy of the body can be increased without changing the energy of the body or increasing its volume) respectively.]]

[ Willard Gibbs 1873年的可用能量(自由能)图，它显示了一个垂直于 v (体积)轴和通过点 a 的平面，a 表示物体的初始状态。Mn 是表面耗散能的截面。Q 和 q 是平面0和0的截面，因此分别与(内能)和(熵)轴平行。Ad 和 AE 分别是物体初始状态的能量和熵，AB 和 AC 分别是物体的有效能(吉布斯能)和熵能(在不改变物体能量或增加物体体积的情况下增加物体熵的量)

There is a physical quantity closely linked to [[Thermodynamic free energy|free energy]] ([[free enthalpy]]), with a unit of entropy and isomorphic to negentropy known in statistics and information theory. In 1873, [[Josiah Willard Gibbs|Willard Gibbs]] created a diagram illustrating the concept of free energy corresponding to [[free enthalpy]]. On the diagram one can see the quantity called [[capacity for entropy]]. This quantity is the amount of entropy that may be increased without changing an internal energy or increasing its volume.<ref>Willard Gibbs, [http://www.ufn.ru/ufn39/ufn39_4/Russian/r394b.pdf A Method of Geometrical Representation of the Thermodynamic Properties of Substances by Means of Surfaces], ''Transactions of the Connecticut Academy'', 382–404 (1873)</ref> In other words, it is a difference between maximum possible, under assumed conditions, entropy and its actual entropy.
