The value of the vapour equilibrium pressure depends essentially on the temperature of the system (water and vapour, which must be the same because thermo-dynamical equilibrium is assumed) as described by the Clapeyron equation.
The humidity in cave atmospheres is generally at the equilibrium level, due to the close contact among water surfaces and air in these quasi-closed systems, which allows them to reach equilibrium.
The equation connecting the es (equilibrium pressure) on a flat surface and the esr on a droplet is given by the Kelvin equation.

  equilibrium - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about equilibrium
In a dynamic equilibrium, in contrast, a steady state is maintained by constant, though opposing, changes.
For example, in a sealed bottle half-full of water, the constancy of the water level is a result of molecules evaporating from the surface and condensing on to it at the same rate.
Each molecule of the gutter bore away a molecule of heat radiating from Gringoire's loins, and the equilibrium between the temperature of his body and the temperature of the brook, began to be established in rough fashion.

 2.4.7 Thermodynamics of semiconductors
This definition implies that in thermal equilibrium no energy (heat, work or particle energy) is being exchanged between the parts within the system and between the system and the environment.
Thermal equilibrium is obtained by isolating a system from its environment, removing any internal sources of energy, and waiting for a long enough time until the system does not change any more.
The concept of thermal equilibrium is of interest since a variety of thermodynamic results assume that the system under consideration is in thermal equilibrium.

 Gas Temperature
The second principle is the definition of thermodynamic equilibrium between two objects.
Two objects are in thermodynamic equilibrium when they have the same temperature.
When the thermometer is brought into contact with another object, it quickly establishes a thermodynamic equilibrium.

Thermal equilibrium is the concept which is peculiar to thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
The first law of thermodynamics says that the increase in internal energy of a thermodynamic system, whether or not it is in equilibrium, is the sum of the work done on a body and the heat that flows into the body.
When two different phases of the same material are in equilibrium with one another their Gibbs free energy per unit mass must be the same, so the chemical potentials must be the same.

 Thermal equilibrium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Thermal equilibrium is the subject of the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics.
The "zeroth law" states that if two systems are at the same time in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
If A and C are in thermal equilibrium with B, then A is in thermal equilibrium with B. Practically this means that all three are at the same temperature, and it forms the basis for comparison of temperatures.

 Introduction to Environmental Science - 551 Introduction - Thermodynamics
The state of a macroscopic system in equilibrium can be described in terms of such measurable properties as temperature, pressure, and volume, which are known as thermodynamic variables.
When a macroscopic system moves from one state of equilibrium to another, a thermodynamic process is said to take place.
A consequence of this fact is the zeroth law of thermodynamics, which states that when each of two systems is in equilibrium with a third, the first two systems must be in equilibrium with each other.

 Pyrosim Manual, Chapter 3
Although this will not affect the predicted equilibrium compositions (because the equilibrium distribution is dependent on the moles of each element present, which remain the same), the energy requirements for the process will increase.
If, for example, boron (B) was also present in the equilibrium selection, and was present at equilibrium, then carbon and iron would be the second and third components present in the metal phase.
If however, boron was selected in the equilibrium specification, but was not present at equilibrium, then carbon and iron would remain the first and second compounds in the metal phase and ACT002.EXT would not need to be updated.

 About Temperature
When a calibrated thermometer is put in thermal contact with a system and reaches thermal equilibrium, we then have a quantitative measure of the temperature of the system.
For example, a mercury-in-glass clinical thermometer is put under the tongue of a patient and allowed to reach thermal equilibrium in the patient's mouth - we then see by how much the silvery mercury has expanded in the stem and read the scale of the thermometer to find the patient's temperature.
If an object is placed in a container whose walls are at a uniform temperature, we expect the object to come into thermal equilibrium with the walls of the enclosure and the object should emit radiant energy just like the walls of the container.

 CHP - Thermodynamics with Redox Example
When we reach equilibrium we write the reaction with arrows in both directions.
We use the right arrow when we are talking about a reaction at non-equilibrium concentrations and the double arrows when a reaction has reached equilibrium.
Reactants that are mixed in non-equilibrium concentrations have potential energy that drives the reaction towards equilibrium.

The first is the bubble growth from point A to the point of mechanical equilibrium B. In point B, the kinetic energy has a first maximum on the stroke of expansion.
From inertia, the bubble passes equilibrium point B and has reached point C of maximum of potential energy due to the fact that pressure inside becomes less than outside pressure.
The effect was observed as the influence of the radiation on the level of liquid in a capillary pipe.

 temperature
after we place them in contact and wait a sufficiently long time for them to reach thermal equilibrium, their pressure will in general not be equal, nor will their volume, but their temperature will always be equal in thermal equilibrium.
if B comes separately into thermal equilibrium with A and E and indicates the same temperature, then A and E are in thermal equilibrium and have the same temperature.
A, E, and B are in thermal equilibrium if and only if their temperature are equal (the zeroth law of thermodynamics).

Flow equations, in finite-difference form, are combined to obtain an implicit equation for the oil-phase pressure, an explicit equation for the over-all composition of each hydrocarbon component, an explicit water saturation equation, and explicit oil-gas saturation equations that satisfy thermo-dynamic equilibrium.
Equations for oil pressure, water saturation, hydrocarbon compositions, and oil-gas saturations are sequentially solved in an iterative loop until convergence is achieved.
Hydrocarbon-phase equilibrium calculations use equilibrium ratios as a function of pressure and convergence pressure.

In addition to the close to thermodynamic equilibrium, there is a whole new field of non-equilibrium thermodynamics which has a whole range of new features.
And also equilibrium is a relative state, depending on what system and what aspects of it we are looking at (if you include nuclear processes, entropy is maximised by fusion/fission to iron, and most systems are a long way from this equilibrium).

 Research groups: THERMO-group
Thermodynamic analysis relates to the equilibrium state of materials and materials systems to macroscopic variables such as pressure, temperature, composition and stress.
Combined with experimental observations of phases and the measurement of their composition, it creates the framework to understand materials and processes and presents opportunities to improve materials properties and processes used in materials production.
It is therefore essential to also study phenomena such as reactions, diffusion, segregation and solidification that bridge the gap between equilibrium and non-equilibrium states.

The tragedy of thermo, the other side of the coin, is that it tells nothing about the details - we have no idea about how the energy is used, what steps are involved in its loss from thermo.
When the free energy is negative we say the reaction is spontaneous, which simply means the reactants are favored in the reaction equation as written.
G°' is the energy due to the nature of the system or substance, and RT lnQ, is the energy arising from the distance the system is from equilibrium.
