thermodynamic equilibrium state
11state, equation of — Any of a class of equations that relate the pressure P, volume V, and temperature T of a given substance in thermodynamic equilibrium. For example, the equation PV = nRT, where n is the number of moles of gas and R is the universal gas constant,… …
12Thermodynamic databases for pure substances — Thermodynamic databases contain information about thermodynamic properties for substances, the most important being enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy. Numerical values of these thermodynamic properties are collected as tables or are… …
13Thermodynamic cycle — Thermodynamics …
14Equilibrium unfolding — In biochemistry, equilibrium unfolding is the process of unfolding a protein or RNA molecule by gradually changing its solution conditions, i.e., its environment. Since equilibrium is maintained at all steps, the process is reversible… …
15Thermodynamic potential — A thermodynamic potential is a scalar potential function used to represent the thermodynamic state of a system. One main thermodynamic potential which has a physical interpretation is the internal energy, U. It is the energy of configuration of a …
16Thermodynamic process — A thermodynamic process may be defined as the energetic evolution of a thermodynamic system proceeding from an initial state to a final state. Paths through the space of thermodynamic variables are often specified by holding certain thermodynamic …
17Thermodynamic paradox — The Thermodynamic paradox is an argument attempting to use thermodynamics to make deductions about the nature of the universe, specifically it attempts to argue against the steady state model of the universe using reductio ad absurdum .The… …
18Non-equilibrium thermodynamics — Thermodynamics …
19Chemical equilibrium — In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which the concentrations of the reactants and products have not yet changed with time. It occurs only in reversible reactions, and not in irreversible reactions. Usually, this state… …
20Quasistatic equilibrium — is the quasi balanced state of a thermodynamic system near to thermodynamic equilibrium in some sense or degree. A process is called quasi static when it follows a succession of equilibrium states; the surroundings may be irreversibly altered… …
