degrees of freedom | The number of degrees of freedom in a system is equal to the number of intensive variables that can be independently specified. For closed, non-reacting systems, Gibbs Phase Rule can be used to calculate the number of Degrees of Freedom. Modified forms of the Gibbs Phase Rule must be used for open and reacting systems. | 3C4 | |
