Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
Chemical potentials supply chemical thermodynamics with component-wise driving forces for diffusion, phase transfer, and reaction in multicomponent systems.
How to interpret this relation type
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
source: Contributes to; target: Contains theory component
Authored annotation
supplies a pressure-adapted state function
Authored explanation
Enthalpy supplies chemical thermodynamics with a state function useful for constant-pressure heat effects and flowing material, without identifying heat itself as a state function.

add composition, reaction, and phase variables
Authored explanation
Chemical thermodynamics specializes equilibrium thermodynamics by treating component amounts, reactions, mixing, phases, chemical potentials, and standard states explicitly.
How to interpret this relation type
A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.

supplies the fixed-T,p potential
Authored explanation
Gibbs energy supplies chemical thermodynamics with a natural potential for many closed-system laboratory processes at controlled temperature and pressure, subject to the stated constraints.
