	Helmholtz free energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Helmholtz energy was developed by Hermann von Helmholtz and is denoted by the letter A (from the German "Arbeit" or work), or the letter F .
		A is the Helmholtz energy (SI: Joules, CGS: ergs),
		With this definition, we may say that the negative of the Helmholtz energy is the maximum amount of work energy available from a system in which the initial and final states have the same temperature and number of particles.

	Free energy (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Helmholtz free energy: the amount of thermodynamic energy which can be converted into work at constant temperature and volume.
		Free energy is energy which may be directly utilized (and returned) by a device from the surroundings (electromagnetic free energy is sometimes referred to as radiant energy).
		Free energy suppression is the notion that corporate energy interests deliberately suppress technologies that may provide energy at very little cost.

	Energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Energy, in the distant past, was discussed in terms of easily observable effects it has on the properties of objects or changes in state of various systems.
		The concept of free energy is a synthesis of energy and entropy.
		Energy is subject to the law of conservation of energy (which is a mathematical restatement of shift symmetry of time).

	Helmholtz and Gibbs Free Energies
		They are internal energy, the enthalpy, the Helmholtz free energy and the Gibbs free energy.
		The Helmholtz free energy is then a measure of the amount of energy you have to put in to create a system once the spontaneous energy transfer to the sytem from the environment is accounted for.
		This net energy contribution for a system created in environment temperature T from a negligible initial volume is the Gibbs free energy.

		For example, when water evaporates, the internal energy of the water is dispersed with the water vapor produced, corresponding to an increase in entropy.
		Energy, enthalpy, temperature, volume, pressure, and temperature are examples of state functions; heat and work are examples of non-state functions.

	Gibb's Free Energy
		The Gibbs free energy derives from the second law of thermodynamics, as a special case where the temperature and pressure are constant, but that is all I will say about the second law in this, the "short answer".
		The Gibbs free energy difference is a thermodynamic function (thermodynamic function = a function that depends only on the initial and final state of some process, and not the path by which one goes from the initial to the final state.).
		The Gibbs free energy difference is defined in terms of two other thermodynamic properties, the enthalpy change denoted "dH" and the entropy change "dS".

	Free energy profiles
		In general, free energy profiles are useful for knowing the thermodynamics of a reaction on a point-by-point basis as the reaction occurs.
		An important application of free energy profiles is in drug design, where it is important to know the thermodynamics of how a certain drugs binds to an active site.
		If one has an appropriate reaction coordinate, then the free energy profile of that reaction coordinate can be computed, giving an indication of how many barriers need to be crossed in order for the drug to take hold.

	Free Energy
		The isothermal-isobaric ensemble (NPT), with a constant number of particles, pressure, and temperature, is used to obtain the Gibbs free energy.
		For relatively rigid systems with few degrees of freedom, the free energy may be calculated by direct calculation of the partition function.
		The overal free energy change is then obtained by summing the change from each of the steps.

		is the average total energy of the system (kinetic energy plus potential energy), T is the absolute temperature, S is the entropy, and Z is the partition function (eq 3).
		For example, in Monte Carlo studies of protein structure prediction, the energy function may be based simply on the likelihood of residues of type i and j being within a certain distance of each other.
		Because the p's are derived from structures at constant T and P determined experimentally, these energy functions account for entropic contributions to the Gibbs free energy in an approximate way.

		It would be preferable to have a state function that depended only on the system, in order to determine whether a process is spontaneous, reversible or nonspontaneous.
		Such a state function exists and is given the name free energy.
		At constant volume and temperature, there is a state function called the Helmholtz free energy, and at constant temperature and pressure (the most important for chemical reactions), there is the Gibbs free energy, which we will focus on below.

		The aim is to minimize the information required to describe both the code vector and the reconstruction error.
		We show that this information is minimized by choosing code vectors stochastically according to a Boltzmann distribution, where the generative weights define the energy of each possible code vector given the input vector.
		Unfortunately, if the code vectors use distributed representations, it is exponentially expensive to compute this Boltzmann distribution because it involves all possible code vectors.

	helmholtz free energy question (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In general, the helmholtz free energy is A=U-TS, where U is the internal energy, T is the temperature, and S is the entropy.
		So you would calculate the free energy and then minimize it with respect to each free variable to find the equilibrium position of the constrained system.
		It is also used to calculate various other thermodynamic quantities starting from a statistical model of the system, since it is the thermodynamic quantity most easily obtained from statistical methods (more specifically, the canonical ensemble).
