Feb 22, 2022 at 12:17 comment added Shub What's the physical intuition for $TS$?
Sep 12, 2020 at 22:09 comment added Andrew Steane I downvoted because in my opinion this answer does not help one understand the physics here, and largely misses the point.
Nov 30, 2014 at 1:31 comment added jabirali Note that the Gibbs free energy is used when describing systems at constant temperature; so the TS term describes entropy changes in the environment, not temperature changes in the system.
Nov 29, 2014 at 23:51 comment added André Chalella There is something missing, however. Ok, you explained why $H$ is important in the sentence V increases, so U decreases, (without input heat). But what about $G$? In which scenario does it remain constant? I think the core of the question was almost hit but nearly missed.
