Summary
In this paper we study the stability(1) of linear inviscid fluid mixtures. In particular, we show that thestatical stability criterion of Gibbs is both necessary and sufficient for thedynamical stability of the mixture(2), using, as our main hypotheses, only those inequalities and symmetries which are consequences of the second law of thermodynamics(3).
