Equilibrium
No tendency to depart spontaneously for certain changes or
processes, i.e., heat transfer, work of volume displacement and
mass transfer across the phase boundary.
In other words at equilibrium
properties are stable, i.e., not subjected to “catastrophic” changes on
slight variations of external condition
properties are independent of time and of previous history of the
system
One can distinguish an equilibrium state from a steady state,
insisting that in equilibrium state there are no net fluxes of the
kind under consideration (HT, etc.) across a plane surface placed
anywhere in the system i.e., say, in HT, (𝜕𝑇 𝜕𝑡)I =(𝜕𝑇 𝜕𝑡)II= 0
(at steady state) at equilibrium 𝑞(I) = 𝑞(II)
A change in the equilibrium state of a system is called a process
