Willard Gibbs's (Yale College Connecticut) graphical methods in thermodynamics. Last winter I made several attempts to model the surface which he suggests, in which the three coordinates are volume, entropy and energy. The numerical data about entropy can only be obtained by integration from data which are for most bodies very insufficient, and besides it would require a very unwieldy model to get all the features, say of CO<sub>2</sub>, well represented, so I made no attempt at accuracy, but modelled a fictitious substance, in which the volume is greater when solid than when liquid; and in which, as in water, the saturated vapour becomes superheated by compression. When I had at last got a plaster cast I drew on it lines of equal pressure and temperature, so as to get a rough motion of their forms. This I did by placing the model in sunlight, and tracing the curve when the rays just grazed the surface... I send you a sketch of these lines..."

| The first paragraph of Gibbs's part 1 publication reads | |||
| <blockquote>“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. So far as regards a general graphical method, which can exhibit at once all the thermodynamic properties of a fluid concerned in reversible processes, and serve alike for the demonstration of general theorems and the numerical solution of particular problems, it is the general if not the universal practice to use diagrams in which the rectilinear co-ordinates represent volume and pressure. The object of this article is to call attention to certain diagrams of different construction, which afford graphical methods coextensive in their applications with that in ordinary use, and preferable to it in many cases in respect of distinctness or of convenience.”<Ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sv.vt.edu/classes/ESM4714/methods/Gibbs.html|title=Thermodynamic Case Study-Gibbs' Thermodynamic Graphical Method|work=sv.vt.edu|accessdate=January 9, 2015}}</ref></blockquote> | |||

| The graphical methods in the thermodynamics of fluids published by Gibbs in part 1 resulted in the development of a method of geometrical representation of the thermodynamic properties of substances by means of surfaces. This led to the establishment of the thermodynamic property relationship between the variables - energy, entropy, volume, temperature, and pressure.
