ABSTRACT: Applying the thermodynamic zeros of the
entropy
and internal energy
of the gas mass
in the volume
yields the numerically
unique relation between these quantities, thus allowing calculation of the
chemical potential in the gas fields of temperature
and pressure
, viz.
. A difference in chemical potential provides a force for
freely moving matter flow. Since
is intrinsically a
negative function, decreasing as the temperature increases, natural flow
processes are initiated by high
values in cold regions
directed to low
