Wing Commander Patrick Gibbs and his unit, No. 39 Squadron flew their Beauforts against shipping and increased the pressure on Rommel by attacking his supply lines in September.

In these papers, Gibbs showed how the first two laws of thermodynamics could be measured graphically and mathematically to determine both the thermodynamic equilibrium of chemical reactions as well as their tendencies to occur or proceed.

During the early 20th century, two major publications successfully applied the principles developed by Gibbs to chemical processes, and thus established the foundation of the science of chemical thermodynamics.

In the course of this effort, Gibbs distinguished between the dot and cross products of two vectors and introduced the concept of dyadics.

Gibbs introduced the now common notation for the dot product and the cross product of two vectors, and he was largely responsible for the development of the vector calculus techniques still used today in electrodynamics and fluid mechanics.

The first half of the 20th century saw the publication of two influential textbooks that soon came to be regarded as founding documents of chemical thermodynamics, both of which used and extended Gibbs's work in that field: these were Thermodynamics and the Free Energy of Chemical Processes ( 1923 ), by Gilbert N. Lewis and Merle Randall, and Modern Thermodynamics by the Methods of Willard Gibbs ( 1933 ), by Edward A. Guggenheim.

) Yale's J. W. Gibbs Laboratory and its J. Willard Gibbs Assistant Professorship in Mathematics are also named in his honor, and the university has hosted two symposia dedicated to Gibbs's life and work, one in 1989 and another on the centenary of his death, in 2003.

* 1876 – Josiah Willard Gibbs publishes the first of two papers ( the second appears in 1878 ) which discuss phase equilibria, statistical ensembles, the free energy as the driving force behind chemical reactions, and chemical thermodynamics in general.

Certain assumptions are taken in its deduction, therefore Gibbs isotherm can only be applied to ideal ( very dilute ) solutions with two components.

Then, the main attack, directly against the earthworks manned by the vast majority of American troops, would be launched in two columns ( along the river led by Keane and along the swamp line led by Major General Samuel Gibbs ).

* 1876-Josiah Willard Gibbs publishes the first of two papers ( the second appears in 1878 ) which discuss phase equilibria, statistical ensembles, the free energy as the driving force behind chemical reactions, and chemical thermodynamics in general.

In 1873, American engineer Willard Gibbs published his first thermodynamics paper, “ Graphical Methods in the Thermodynamics of Fluids ”, in which Gibbs used the two coordinates of the entropy and volume to represent the state of the body.

American engineer Willard Gibbs ' 1873 figures two and three ( above left and middle ) used by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1874 to create a three-dimensional entropy ( x ), Volume ( thermodynamics ) | volume ( y ), energy ( z ) Maxwell's thermodynamic surface | thermodynamic surface diagram for a fictitious water-like substance, transposed the two figures of Gibbs ( above right ) onto the volume-entropy coordinates ( transposed to bottom of cube ) and energy-entropy coordinates ( flipped upside down and transposed to back of cube ), respectively, of a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates ; the region AB being the first-ever three-dimensional representation of Gibbs free energy, or what Gibbs called " available energy "; the region AC being its capacity for entropy, what Gibbs defined as " the amount by which the entropy of the body can be increased without changing the energy of the body or increasing its volume.

Building on the work of Clausius, between the years 1873-76 the American mathematical physicist Willard Gibbs published a series of three papers, the most famous one being the paper On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances.

:* Nanotechnology – rigorously, the study of materials where the effects of quantum confinement, the Gibbs – Thomson effect, or any other effect only present at the nanoscale is the defining property of the material ; but more commonly, it is the creation and study of materials whose defining structural properties are anywhere from less than a nanometer to one hundred nanometers in scale, such as molecularly engineered materials.

That work appeared in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy, which had few readers capable of understanding Gibbs's work, but he shared reprints with his correspondents in Europe and received a particularly favorable response from James Clerk Maxwell, at the University of Cambridge, who made three plaster casts illustrating Gibbs's construct with his own hands and mailed one to Gibbs ( see Maxwell's thermodynamic surface ).

US President Chester A. Arthur appointed him as one of the commissioners to the National Conference of Electricians, which convened in Philadelphia in September of 1884, and Gibbs presided over one of its sessions.

Together with James Clerk Maxwell and Ludwig Boltzmann, Gibbs is considered one of the founders of statistical mechanics.

Despite the warnings of Simon, Mrs. Soames, and Mrs. Gibbs, Emily decides to return to Earth to re-live just one day, her 12th birthday.

They had one daughter, Sarah Gibbs Thompson.

For a solid, one can derive an expression for the change in Gibbs free energy, dG, upon the change of GB area, dA.

A Gibbs monolayer or soluble monolayer is a monolayer formed by a compound that is soluble in one of the phases separated by the interface on which the monolayer is formed.

Originally named " Gibbs Station ," after Barnett Gibbs ( who eventually became one of Texas ’ first lieutenant governors ), the town was renamed in 1892 for George Coppell, wealthy financier from England who came to the U. S. in the 1880s and was reportedly heavily involved with the final construction of the local railroad line.

While on tour with Richard, pop singer Georgia Gibbs recorded her version of James ' song, which was released under the title " The Wallflower ", and became a crossover hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100, which angered James.

In mathematics and physics, a phase space, introduced by Willard Gibbs in 1901, is a space in which all possible states of a system are represented, with each possible state of the system corresponding to one unique point in the phase space.

It is probable the tombstone was made by either John Gibbs of Oxford ( father of utler's second wife ) or one of Gibbs's employees.

The input of heat into an " endothermic " chemical reaction ( e. g. the elimination of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene ) can be seen as coupling an inherently unfavourable reaction ( elimination ) to a favourable one ( burning of coal or the energy source of a heat source ) such that the total entropy change of the universe is more than or equal to zero, making the Gibbs free energy of the coupled reaction negative.

Thus, in order to understand the very difficult concept of Gibbs free energy one must be able to understand its interpretation as Gibbs defined originally by section AB on his figure 3 and as Maxwell sculpted that section on his 3D surface figure.

This is one form of Gibbs fundamental equation.

The Gibbs free energy is one of the most important thermodynamic functions for the characterization of a system.

During this year, Buechner also completed his third novel, The Return of Ansel Gibbs.

In his second follow-up paper, “ A Method of Geometrical Representation of the Thermodynamic Properties of Substances by Means of Surfaces ”, published later that year, Gibbs added in the third coordinate of the energy of the body, defined on three figures.

In the third season, he is replaced as " C " by John Tower Gibbs ( Dennis Burgess ), who openly disapproves of Burnside and his method of operating.

In Super Bowl XXVI, the Redskins were up 24 – 0 on the Buffalo Bills just sixteen seconds into the third quarter, and 37 – 10 with over eleven minutes to go when Gibbs pulled most of his starters.

The victory gave Gibbs and the team their third Super Bowl title.
