What is coal? Coal is a fossil fuel and is the altered remains of prehistoric vegetation that originally accumulated in swamps and peat bogs. The energy we get from coal today comes from the energy that plants absorbed from the sun millions of years ago. All living plants store solar energy through a process known as photosynthesis.
Dynamic equilibrium. Definition. noun. A system in a steady state since forward reaction and backward reaction occur at the same rate. Supplement. In a dynamic equilibrium, the rate of loss is equal to the rate of gain. Dynamic equilibrium is applied in thermodynamics for systems involving reversible reactions.
An equilibrium (or equilibrium point) of a dynamical system generated by an autonomous system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is a solution that does not change with time.
