The change in __________ is equal to the reversible work for compression in steady state flow process under isothermal condition.

The change in __________ is equal to the reversible work for compression in steady state flow process under isothermal condition. Correct Answer Gibbs free energy

Gibbs free energy:
$$\eqalign{ & G = H - TS \cr & \Rightarrow - dG = {W_R} - PdV \cr} $$
So, the decrease in Gibbs energy represents maximum useful work (excluding the expansion work) in a reversible process under isothermal and isobaric conditions.
