Conditions For Thermodynamic Equilibrium: The Function Availability [condições De Equilíbrio Termodinâmico: A Funçâo Disponibilidade]

The thermodynamic equilibrium is a state defined by conditions which depend upon some characteristics of the system. It requires thermal, mechanical, chemical and phase equilibrium. Continuumthermodynamics, its radical restriction usually called homogeneous processes thermodynamics, as well as the classical thermodynamic science of reversible processes, each of them defines equilibrium in a differing way. But these definitions lead to the same physical contents.341160164Levine, I.N., (2002) Physical Chemistry, , Tata McGraw - Hill: New DelhiAtkins, P.W., (1999) Físico Química, , L.T.C.: Rio de JaneiroTruesdell, C.A., (1984) Rational Thermodynamics, , Springer: BerlinLiu, I-S., (2002) Continuum Mechanics, , Springer: BerlinKnops, R.J., Wilkes, E.W., (1973) Handbuch der Physik, , Springer: BerlinMuller, I., Ruggeri, T., (1998) Rational Extended Thermodynamics, , Springer: BerlinTruesdell, C.A., Toupin, R., (1960) Handbuch der Physik, , Springer: BerlinDill, E.H., (2006) Continuum Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Viscoelasticity, , CRC: LondonChung, T.J., (2007) General Continuum Mechanics, , Cambridge: CambridgeIrgens, F., (2008) Continuum Mechanics, , Springer: BerlinNair, S., (2009) Introduction to Continuum Mechanics, , Cambridge: Cambridg
