The internal energy, the enthalpy and the free electrical energies

It is noticed that the concepts of energy usually employed in Thermodynamics and in Statistical Mechanics are not the same and are indeed related through a Legendre transformation, the one coming from Statistical Mechanics working as the enthalpy works in relation to the internal energy in the P-V-T scheme. The electrical free energies are also defined.

Thermodynamics; Statistical Mechanics; electrical free energies
