Abstract

General equations are derived for fluctuations in energy in small completely open μ, p, T and μ, T or μ₁, μ₂, T (incompressible) systems. Four examples are considered. As expected, the fluctuations are unusually large because there are no restraints on the size of the system. Also, fluctuations in N and V or in N₁ and N₂ contribute indirectly to the fluctuations in E.
