Abstract:

One aspect of RAND work on the development of computer models to represent physiological subsystems is concerned with the resolution of attendant problems of theoretical and computational mathematics. In a previous Memorandum--Mass Action Laws and the Gibbs Free Energy Function. N. Z. Shapiro and L. S. Shapley, RM-3935-PR. December 1963 AD-426 718 the use of the Gibbs free energy function vis-a-vis the mass action laws for the analysis of complex chemical systems was considered. The present Memorandum continues that discussion, obtaining an inequality concerning the effect on a chemical system of changing its free energy parameters.
