d nG nV dP nS dT (6.6)
Equation (6.6) relates the total Gibbs energy of any closed
system to temperature and pressure.
An appropriate application is to a single phase fluid in a
closed system wherein no chemical reactions occur. For
such a system the composition is necessarily constant, and

Equation (11.2) is the fundamental property relation for single
phase fluid systems of variable mass and composition.
