Abstract
The affine scaling method is used to solve two classical extremal problems of thermody
namics. The effective techniques for convergense acceleration are devised and realesed
and the examples are presented.
Key words: affine scaling method, dual variables, free Gibbs energy function, entropy,
acceleration of convergence.
