> Equilibrium [ 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ] |
As I mentioned at the introduction, steady state is much easier to think about than unsteady state. Furthermore, 'equilibrium' is the simplest state in it. I would define equilibrium as the state where there's no flow in a system. For instance, when water overflow a cup which is full of water, it can be a steady state having flow, means not equilibrium. On the other hand, if you stop water and put a lid on the cup, it can be an equilibrium state. Why is 'equilibrium' important for chemical engineering? A clue is in the figure Why is 'equilibrium' important for chemical engineering? A clue is in this figure ![]() |
