<strong>The</strong>rmodynamic Equilibrium<br />
In thermodynamic equilibrium there are no net flows of matter or of energy, no<br />
phase changes, and no unbalanced potentials (or driving forces).<br />
However, a system may not reach this stable equilibrium due to energy barriers -<br />
such a quasi-equilibrium is metastable.<br />
