The Gibbs Variational Method in Thermodynamics of Equilibrium Plasma: 3. The Multicomponent Plasma

Abstract

This report is the third part of the study published under the common umbrella The Gibbs Variational Method in Thermodynamics of Equilibrium Plasma. In Part 1, we formulated a novel approach to thermodynamics of one-component heterogeneous systems completely or partially filled with a liquid substance in plasma state. The approach is based on the use of the Gibbs variational principles, and it enables efforts to address a variety of problems relating to equilibrium and stability of such systems. In this third part, the results of the Part 1 are generalized for the multicomponent plasma systems.
