Deciphering the physical meaning of Gibbs’s maximum work equation by Hanlon, Robert T.

“…Willard Gibbs derived the following equation to quantify the maximum work possible for a chemical reaction $${\text{Maximum work }} = \, - \Delta {\text{G}}_{{{\text{rxn}}}} = \, - \left( {\Delta {\text{H}}_{{{\text{rxn}}}} {-}{\text{ T}}\Delta {\text{S}}_{{{\text{rxn}}}} } \right) {\text{ constant T}},{\text{P}}$$ Maximum work = - Δ G rxn = - Δ H rxn - T Δ S rxn constant T , P ∆Hrxn is the enthalpy change of reaction as measured in a reaction calorimeter and ∆Grxn the change in Gibbs energy as measured, if feasible, in an electrochemical cell by the voltage across the two half-cells. …”

Weathering the global financial crisis - Malaysia's stimulus package and its implications. by Liaw, Wan Tieng., Li, Pei., Ow, Kuok Jein.

“…The onset of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) had brought down economies worldwide, that even the major powerhouse, the United States of America was tremendously affected. In this paper, we dwell into how a small, open economy such as Malaysia was affected by this global contagious effect, focusing on how economic policies are implemented by the local government to help weather itself out of the storm and its effectiveness, as well as drawing lessons learned from this crisis.…”
