[ noun ] a stable situation in which forces cancel one another
Used in print (Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)Assuming thermal equilibrium between the anode surface and the transpiring argon , the gas enthalpy rise through the anode was calculated according_to the relation **f whereby the specific_heat of argon was taken as **f . The thermocouples in the aluminum disk shown in figure 2 indicated an equilibrium temperature of the surface of **f . (Harry H. Hull, "The Normal Forces and Their Ther...)This is interesting for it combines both the thermodynamic concept of a minimum Gibbs function for equilibrium and minimum mechanical potential_energy for equilibrium . This is interesting for it combines both the thermodynamic concept of a minimum Gibbs function for equilibrium and minimum mechanical potential_energy for equilibrium . |

[ noun ] (chemistry) a chemical reaction and its reverse proceed at equal rates
Synonyms Used in print (Jay C. Harris and John R. Van Wazer, "Detergent...)From the equilibrium sorption data which are available , it seems logical to expect that polyphosphate ions would be strongly sorbed on the surface of the dirt ( especially clay soils ) so as to give it a greatly increased negative_charge . (Francis J. Johnston and John E. Willard, "The...)The fraction of exchange was determined as the ratio of the counts / minute observed in the carbon_tetrachloride to the counts / minute calculated for the carbon_tetrachloride fractions for equilibrium distribution of the activity between the chlorine and carbon_tetrachloride , empirically determined correction being made for the difference in counting efficiency of * * f in * * f and * * f .
