Hello all,
I am confused about the following fact. Does minimization of free energy always mean that entropy is maximized? are they always complimentary to each other or in certain conditions?
I am doubtful because I came across a text which said for isothermal systems ( i.e. temperature doesn't change) these are complimentary, whereas for case of non-isothermal systems, minimization of free energy does not always mean maximization of entropy. May someone help.
Thanks
