No. 119: J. WILLARD GIBBS by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 119. Today we meet the greatest scientist America has produced. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. H istorians don't like superlatives. It's too easy to be wrong when you use words like first and best. Yet I shall introduce you to the greatest American scientist, and he's someone you may never even have heard of. His name is Josiah Willard Gibbs Gibbs was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1839. He lived his entire life in the same house and died there in 1903. He was the seventh in an unbroken line of American academics stretching all the way back to the 17th century. His father was a noted professor of linguistics at Yale. And what did Gibbs do? Well, he created the entire subject of chemical thermodynamics. He wrote vector analysis. He invented statistical mechanics and developed it as far as it would go before quantum mechanics could take it further. Other great scientists contribute to fields. Gibbs created three entire fields pulled them out of his empyrean mind and gave them life.

No. 1483: GIBBS AND VISUALIZATION by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1484. Today, a glimpse into the mind of J. Willard Gibbs. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. W hen I spoke at Yale University a while back, I met a blind student doing his doctorate in genetics a field that depends heavily on pictures and patterns. What he and I talked about was visualization. At first that may seem contradictory, but ask yourself: Who does more mental visualization: we sighted people or that student who didn't have the use of his eyes? He was obviously very good at recreating the three-dimensional world around him in his head. I ask you to try an experiment. Close your eyes and walk around your house or apartment, guiding yourself by recollection and mental reconstruction. Either you'll manage to recreate your material world in your mind, or you'll end up hopelessly lost in your own house. Now meet another Yale student

23. Josiah Willard Gibbs, Gibbs Models: Computer-visualized Thermodynamic Surfaces In the spring of 1873 J. willard gibbs published the first of his three great papers, Graphical Methods in the Thermodynamics of Fluids. http://www.public.iastate.edu/~jolls/homepage.html

In the spring of 1873 J. Willard Gibbs published the first of his three great papers, "Graphical Methods in the Thermodynamics of Fluids." The first sentence of that paper has provided continuing motivation for the work described here and in earlier publications from this laboratory: "Although geometrical representations of propositions in the thermodynamics of fluids are in general use and have done good service in disseminating clear notions in this science, yet they have by no means received the extension in respect to variety and generality of which they are capable." authors: Kenneth R.

24. J W Gibbs, Gibbs Models: Computer-visualized Thermodynamic Surfaces by Professor Klein at Yale in honor of J. willard gibbs 150th birthday. My presentation, entitled gibbs and the Art of Thermodynamics, may be found http://www.public.iastate.edu/~jolls/dedication.html

Motivation and History, a Dedication My interest in the visual models shown in this collection and, more generally, in the postulatory approach to thermodynamics arose from the first editions of the textbook by Modell and Reid, Thermodynamics and Its Applications , Prentice-Hall, 1974, 1983. I believe that the attention paid in that book to the Legendre transform and to the crucial role played by stability theory in any thorough understanding of classical thermodynamics makes it an essential resource for the serious student. While on leave at the University of California at Berkeley in the early 1980s, working in Professor John Prausnitz' research group, my attention was first called to Gibbs' writings by a reviewer for The Journal of Chemical Education , Dr. Henry A. Bent, former Professor of Chemistry at North Carolina State University and at the University of Pittsburgh. While I was far from the first person to appreciate the visualizability of Gibbs' equations, I believe I was the first to try to create those drawings using computer graphics. I was assisted in the early stages of the work by Iowa State University graduate student Michael C. Schmitz ("Visualizing thermodynamic concepts through high-performance computer graphics," M.S. in ChE, ISU, 1991). Using a Silicon Graphics IRIS 3030 workstation, Michael created the first computer-drawn fundamental-equation surface in 1988 — the Helmholtz energy of a pure fluid. Daniel C. Coy was my graduate student from 1988 through 1993 and is wholly responsible for the collection of drawings shown here. He developed the generating equations (for multicomponent systems, using extensive variables), wrote the convergence schemes to solve those equations, and created a transformation matrix that enabled him to plot any combination of thermodynamic variables attainable through the Legendre transformation. Dan also developed schemes for tessellating the surfaces so as to yield geometry files compatible with MOVIE.BYU graphics software. Dr. Coy's dissertation was an exemplary piece of scientific research and is mentioned elsewhere in this website.

33. The Willard Gibbs Award The medal was named for Professor Josiah willard gibbs see here and here and on one side, the bust of J. willard gibbs, for whom the medal was named. http://membership.acs.org/C/Chicago/Gibbs_history.html

The Willard Gibbs Medal Founded by William A. Converse The award was founded in 1910 by William A. Converse (1862-1940), a former chairman and secretary of the Chicago Section. The medal was named for Professor Josiah Willard Gibbs [see here and here and here ] (1839-1903) of Yale University. Gibbs, whose formulation of the Phase Rule founded a new science, is considered by many to be the only American born scientist whose discoveries are as fundamental in nature as those of Newton and Galileo. When Betz purchased the Dearborn/Grace division, the BetzDearborn Foundation had most generously continued the historic relationship between the Section and Dearborn. However, since GE purchased Betz/Dearborn we are no longer receiving financial support for the medal or the dinner, and the Section would welcome a few (or a lot of) benefactors who would be willing to provide some support to the Willard Gibbs Medal Fund. Any contribution would be appreciated. We are most appreciative of previous support from the BetzDearborn Foundation. The purpose of the award is "To publicly recognize eminent chemists who, through years of application and devotion, have brought to the world developments that enable everyone to live more comfortably and to understand this world better." Medalists are selected by a national jury of eminent chemists from different disciplines. The nominee must be a chemist who, because of the preeminence of his work in and contribution to pure or applied chemistry, is deemed worthy of special recognition.

J. Willard Gibbs and his Legacy: A Double Centennial New Haven, CT, 28 February 2003; Austin, TX, 3 March 2003; College Park, MD, 5-6 March 2003 J. Willard Gibbs (1839-1903), Professor of Mathematical Physics at Yale University, was one of the most important American scientists of the 19th century, although his achievements were recognized in Europe before they became known in his own country. His formulation of the laws and concepts of thermodynamics is a fundamental part of theoretical physics and physical chemistry; it has found widespread applications in research on the properties of matter and in engineering. In 1902, Gibbs published his classic book, Elementary Principles in Statistical Mechanics , in which, building on the work of Maxwell and Boltzmann, he established (and named) a new branch of theoretical physics. Statistical mechanics proved to be the best way to treat systems of a large number of atoms and molecules, as well as photons and other particles, especially when quantum effects play a crucial role. In addition, the technique of vector analysis, which Gibbs published in 1901, is widely used in calculations involving quantities that have spatial direction as well as magnitude. The following sessions have been planned to celebrate the double centennial of Gibbs and statistical mechanics: 1. At New Haven, a symposium on Friday, February 28, 2003, 1 pm -6 pm, sponsored by Yale University

39. Gibbs's Phenomena J. willard gibbs first explained this phenomenon in 1899, and therefore these discontinuous points are referred to as gibbs Phenomenon. http://cnx.rice.edu/content/m10092/latest/

Gibbs's Phenomena By: Ricardo Radaelli-Sanchez, Richard Baraniuk Summary: The Fourier Series is the representation of continuous-time, periodic signals in terms of complex exponentials. The Dirichlet conditions suggest that discontinuous signals may have a Fourier Series representation so long as there are a finite number of discontinuities. This seems counter-intuitive, however, as complex exponentials are continuous functions. It does not seem possible to exactly reconstruct a discontinuous function from a set of continuous ones. In fact, it is not. However, it can be if we relax the condition of exactly and replace it with the idea of almost everywhere. This is to say that the reconstruction is exactly the same as the original signal except at a finite number of points. These points, not necessarily suprisingly, occur at the points of discontinuities. Note: This browser cannot correctly display MathML.
