Homework Statement
It was given in my book that:[/B]
Systems are capable of doing pressure-volume (mechanical work) as well as non-mechanical work(like electric work).
So,(ΔG)P,T=ΔH-TΔS=ΔU+PΔV-TΔS
And
ΔU=qrev-wmech-welec
=qrev-PΔV-welec
(ΔG)P,T=qrev-PΔV-welec+PΔV-TΔS
=-welec
Now in the book its given that:
(ΔG)P,T=-wmax
But wmax should comprise of both the mechanical and electric work . Why only electric work is taken as the wmax?
