  Quasistatic equilibrium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A process is called quasi-static when it follows a succession of equilibrium states; the surroundings may be irreversibly altered during the process so that after a return path, the system ends up in a final state which differs from its initial state.
In a quasistatic process, or equilibrium process, a sufficiently slow transition of a thermodynamic system from one equilibrium state to another occurs such that at every moment in time the state of the system is close to an equilibrium state.
A quasistatic process is not necessarily a reversible one.

Process is relatively slow, and the inertial effects of fluid flow and polymer network are negligible.
Process is solvent diffusion-limited into the gel network, and the effects of surrounding fluid convection is negligible.
The process from state 1 to state 2 is therefore entropy generating run-down mixing process, and the changes in thermodynamic properties of control volume due to such mixing process are described by Flory.

process is one in which there is no heat transfer between system and surroundings.
process is a very, very slow process which is considered to be a succession of equilibrium states.
process can be returned to its initial state so that there is no net change in the universe as a result of the complete cycle.

 Quasistatic process (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In thermodynamics a quasistatic process is a process that is performed in such a way as to ensure that the system goes through a sequence of states whose distance from equilibrium is infinitesimal.
A process of this kind is reversible, that is the net variation of entropy of the system and of the environment sums to zero.
In practice a quasistatic process can be approximated by performing it very slowly.

 Quasistatic process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In thermodynamics a quasistatic process is a process that happens infinitely slowly.
Some ambiguity exists in the literature concerning the distinction between quasistatic and reversible processes, as these are sometimes taken as synonyms (Lavenda, 1978).
The above definition is closer to the intuitive understanding of the word "quasi-" (almost) "static", while remaining technically different from reversible processes.

An isothermal process is a change of state in which the air remains in thermal equilibrium with a constant environment.
In pseudoadiabatic processes it is assumed that the condensed water is precipitated as rain.

The body is assumed to be linear elastic and the contact is modeled with a version of Coulomb's law of dry friction in which the normal stress is prescribed on the contact surface.
The novelty consists here in the fact that we consider a slip dependent coefficient of friction and a quasistatic process.
Keywords: Elastic material, quasistatic process, Coulomb's law, slip dependent friction, variational inequality, weak solution.

thermodynamic process --> a process where the macroscopic parameters are changing in time
quasistatic process --> a very slow thermodynamic process, where the parameters change so slowly in time, that the system at each moment can be regarded with a good approximation in equilibrium.
reversible process --> a process that can take place spontaneously in reverse direction too, going through the same intermediate states.

 Thesis Outline
The parameters of the mechanical readjustment process were somewhat artificially related to the free swelling volume of the gel at the given pH.
The entropy generating mixing/diffusion process is modeled by a resistance field driven by solvent’s chemical potential difference across the gel’s control volume boundary, and the total entropy change of control volume is sum of the entropy generated and the entropy transferred by the heat/mass transfer processes.
Although the system of our interest is not at true equilibrium during the process, we will assume that the condition is near equilibrium, and we will model the electric potential difference between two uniform media regions (Figure 3.14) as the average of the individual ion specie’s near equilibrium contribution to the electric potential buildup.

Almost by definition, when a system undergoes a process and changes, it cannot be exactly described by equilibrium statistical mechanics or thermodynamics.
However we can talk about a quasi-static process in which the system progresses slowly enough to be arbitrarily close to equilibrium throughout the process.
An adiabatic process is one in which there is no heat transfer.

 Derivation of the entropy formula for the microcanonical ensemble
Correspondingly, our result (1) expresses the change of the phase volume of a microcanonical ensemble subject to a quasistatic process.
However, for that derivation it is irrelevant in which way the energy of the system is changed, if only the process is quasistatic as defined above.
The entropy formula (24) thus has been derived by interpreting the statistical mechanics result (1) in terms of thermodynamics processes, taking thermodynamic laws into account.

reversible if the isothermal process is done very slowly so the pressures equilibrate across the boundary of system and surroundings.
