Abstract
In the previous two chapters, we have been concerned primarily with the thermodynamics of systems which are in a state of equilibrium. In particular, we have seen that we can calculate all of the state variables of a system in equilibrium from a thermodynamic potential. Further, we have formulated conditions for the existence and stability of equilibrium states.
