Description
The bound energy change in a closed system is that part of the energy change that is always bound to an exchange of heat,
βB = βU - βA [Eq. 1]
βB = βH - βG [Eq. 2]
The free energy change (Helmoltz or Gibbs; βA or βG) is the total energy change (total inner energy or enthalpy, βU or βH) of a system minus the bound energy change.
Therefore, if a process occurs at equilibrium, when βG = 0, then βH = βB, and at βeW = 0 (βH = βeQ + βeW; see energy) we obtain the definition of the bound energy as the heat change taking place in an equilibrium process (eq),
βB = TββS = βeQeq [Eq. 3]

- From Kubo 1976 North-Holland: "Free energy" is due to H. van Helmholtz (1882), and means that part of the internal energy that can be converted into work, as seen in the equation dF = dA for an isothermal quasi-static process. It was customary to call the remaining part, TdS, of the internal energy, dU = dF+TdS, the gebundene Energie (bound energy), but this is not so common now.

- Recalling the term bound energy may resolve one of the historic battles in thermodynamics [2].
