Abstract
Uniformity of the probability measure of phase space is considered in the framework of classical equilibrium thermodynamics. For the canonical and the grand canonical ensembles, relations are given between the phase space uniformities and thermodynamic potentials, their fluctuations and correlations. For the binary system in the vicinity of the critical point the uniformity is interpreted in terms of temperature dependent rates of phases of well defined uniformities. Examples of a liquid-gas system and the mass spectrum of nuclear fragments are presented.Keywords
