So far it has been clarified what a thermodynamic system is and how its state can be determined. Within conventional thermodynamics the principle of thermodynamic equilibrium forms the basis for thermodynamic calculations. However, due to external impacts a system can be shifted from one equilibrium state to another.

Notes
- 1.
If they would be local spots, there would be discontinuities. In such a case the system would not be at equilibrium.
- 2.
Diabatic is the opposite of adiabatic. Thus, heat can pass the wall.
- 3.
Conservation values are mass, momentum and energy.
- 4.
Incoming energy is equal to the outgoing energy!
