thermodynamic equilibrium state
1thermodynamic equilibrium — ▪ physics condition or state of a thermodynamic system, the properties of which do not change with time and that can be changed to another condition only at the expense of effects on other systems. For a thermodynamic equilibrium system… …
2Thermodynamic equilibrium — In thermodynamics, a thermodynamic system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium when it is in thermal equilibrium, mechanical equilibrium, and chemical equilibrium. The local state of a system at thermodynamic equilibrium is determined by… …
3thermodynamic equilibrium — noun : a state of a physical system in which it is in mechanical, chemical, and thermal equilibrium and in which there is therefore no tendency for spontaneous change …
4thermodynamic equilibrium — noun the state of a system in which its energy distribution is such that all parts of the system have the same temperature and no heat flows …
5Thermodynamic temperature — is the absolute measure of temperature and is one of the principal parameters of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic temperature is an “absolute” scale because it is the measure of the fundamental property underlying temperature: its null or zero point …
6Equilibrium — is the condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced and it may refer to:cienceBiology* Equilibrioception, the sense of balance present in humans and animals * Homeostasis, the ability of an open system, especially living… …
7Equilibrium thermodynamics — is the systematic study of transformations of matter and energy in systems as they approach equilibrium. The word equilibrium implies a state of balance. Equilibrium thermodynamics, in origins, derives from analysis of the Carnot cycle. Here,… …
8Thermodynamic system — A thermodynamic system is a precisely defined macroscopic region of the universe, often called a physical system, that is studied using the principles of thermodynamics. All space in the universe outside the thermodynamic system is known as the… …
9State function — In thermodynamics, a state function, state quantity , or a function of state , is a property of a system that depends only on the current state of the system, not on the way in which the system got to that state. A state function describes the… …
