Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Nonequilibrium

👉 In thermodynamics and engineering, a state of equilibrium refers to a situation where all substances in a system are at their thermodynamic equilibrium states. This means that the total entropy of the system is zero, and the pressure, temperature, and volume of each substance are held constant. In contrast, an "incomplete" or "non-equilibrium" state occurs when the system is not at its equilibrium state but still has some variation in one or more thermodynamic variables. This can occur due to changes
