Thermodynamic equilibrium
In
thermodynamics
, a thermodynamic system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium when it is in thermal equilibrium,
mechanical equilibrium
, and
chemical equilibrium
. The local state of a system at
thermodynamic
equilibrium is determined by the values of its
intensive
parameters, as
pressure
,
temperature
, etc. Specifically, thermodynamic equilibrium is characterized by the minimum of a
thermodynamic potential
, such as the
Helmholtz free energy
, i.e. systems at constant temperature and volume:A = U – TS
