What is Thermodynamic equilibrium?
{{jargon|date=January 2024}} In [[thermodynamics]], a [[thermodynamic system]] is said to be in '''thermodynamic equilibrium''' when it is in [[Thermal enegry|thermal]] equilibrium, [[mechanical equilibrium]], [[radiative equilibrium]], and [[chemical equilibrium]]. The local state of a system at thermodynamic equilibrium is determined by the values of its [[intensive quantity|intensive]] parameters, as [[pressure]], [[temperature]], etc. Specifically, thermodynamic equilibrium is characterized by the minimum of a [[thermodynamic potential]]. == Other websites == *Please search [http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/LocalThermodynamicEquilibrium.html Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium] for better understanding {{physics-stub}} [[Category:Thermodynamics]]
