Proposition pour des notations plus pertinentes en thermodynamique.

Author(s) : DUMAS J. P.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper proposes, in a pedagogical aim, to replace the excessive and confusing use of the letter "delta" in thermodynamics, the use of more precise and more differentiated notations. Very different notations for the variations of the state functions, for the differences of the quantities exchanged by the open systems, for the enthalpy and entropy of reaction or for the global creation of entropy, are recommended.
