Summary
Maxwell surface (3D sketch 8 July 1875, thermodynamics) for the states (axes: entropy (x), volume (y), and energy (z) of the body) of a substance (water).
“I enclosed a rough sketch [adjacent] of the lines of Gibbs’ surface, co-ordinates volume [x], entropy [y], energy [z], in an imaginary substance in which the principle features of the substance can be represented on a convenient scale.”
— James Maxwell (1875), Letter to James Thomson, Jul 8, in The Scientific Letters and Papers of James Clerk Maxwell (pgs. 230-31). Volume 3; 1874-1879.
