helmholtz free energy
Helmholtz free energy, also known as Helmholtz energy or A energy, is a thermodynamic potential that quantifies the maximum work that can be extracted from a system at constant volume and temperature. It combines the contribution of internal energy and entropy to describe the system's ability to perform useful work while keeping these properties constant.
