This is often related to the time taken for a system to move from one equilibrium state to another after a sudden change.

For a few hours the bottle's contents are not in an equilibrium state.

To let humanity find a new, balanced equilibrium state on its own.

But there probably are some caveats on the way to that final equilibrium state.

One such ideal condition is that of a stable equilibrium state.

When you remove a crop this equilibrium state is disturbed.

Then, through a series of steps, as the system settles into its final equilibrium state, work is extracted.

The system is in an equilibrium state when the spring is static.

A state function describes the equilibrium state of a system.

As a result, products are formed faster and reactions reach their equilibrium state more rapidly.

Hence a catalyst has no effect on equilibrium state.

At very low temperatures, the equilibrium state is composed almost exclusively of the para form.

That it turns out is the equilibrium state.

In an equilibrium state there are no unbalanced potentials, or driving forces, within the system.

The consequences to the stability of the equilibrium state are as follows:

The stress distribution in the equilibrium state consists of two parts:

In this moment, the weight of the drops is in an equilibrium state with the surface tension.

A steady state, on the other hand, is not necessarily an equilibrium state in the chemical sense.

It is widely believed that the true equilibrium state is always crystalline.

The concentration of species is calculated when the combustion reaction reaches equilibrium state.

Suppose we prepare the system in an artificially highly-ordered equilibrium state.

However, the definition involving energy can be readily extended to yield information about the stability of the equilibrium state.

Constant learning degraded old memories without ever giving them time to reintegrate into a new equilibrium state.

When the equilibrium state has been reached then large scale conversion of kinetic energy to heat ceases.

In that sense the equilibrium state is the lowest state of energy that can be reached.
