State function: History & Overview

In the thermodynamics of equilibrium, a state function, function of state, or point function for a thermodynamic system is a function relating several state variables or state quantities (that describe equilibrium states of a system) that depend only on the current equilibrium thermodynamic state of the system (e.g. gas, liquid, solid, crystal, or…
