Homochirality as a Consequence of Thermodynamic Equilibrium?
Chemistry – A European Journal, 2006AbstractRecent results on the crystallisation/dissolution equilibrium of enantiomorphic crystals of NaClO3 lead to the conclusion that liquid‐phase systems composed of achiral or fast racemising compounds yielding enantiomorphic solid phases (racemic conglomerates) can derive spontaneously to a single homochiral solid phase. This is a thermodynamically

Thermodynamics and Equilibrium
2012The concept of the equilibrium state of a system is of utmost importance in analytical chemistry. To illustrate this assertion briefly, recall that numerous chemical reactions are performed with analytical goals in mind. The conclusions they provide can be easily reached if and only if the reactions proceed through to their natural completion, that is,

Thermodynamics and Equilibrium
2010Thermodynamics takes its name from the Greek for ‘movement of heat’ and is the science concerned with the interchange of energy, particularly that between thermal energy and mechanical work. Thermodynamics is concerned with systems which have come to equilibrium and not with the rate at which equilibrium is achieved.

On the Quantum Correction for Thermodynamic Equilibrium
Physical Review, 1932The probability of a configuration is given in classical theory by the Boltzmann formula $\mathrm{exp}[\ensuremath{-}\frac{V}{\mathrm{hT}}]$ where $V$ is the potential energy of this configuration. For high temperatures this of course also holds in quantum theory.

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics
2013In the preceding chapters with few exceptions we studied systems at equilibrium. This means that the systems do not change or evolve over time.

Equilibrium Thermodynamics gives a comprehensive but concise course in the fundamentals of classical thermodynamics. Although the subject is essentially classical in nature, illustrative material is drawn widely from modern physics and free use is made of microscopic ideas to illuminate it.

Biological systems are far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Concentration gradients and electrostatic potential differences are the driving forces for diffusive currents and chemical reactions. In this chapter, we present the basic ingredients of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We derive continuity equations for mass and energy.

Thermodynamics of adsorption equilibrium
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Division of Chemical Science, 19691. The curve which describes the differential free enthalpy of adsorption as a function of its derivative with respect to temperature at a constant degree of coverage is a rather convenient characteristic of adsorption equilibrium determined by the structure of the adsorbent. 2.

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches in biomembrane thermodynamics
Archives Internationales de Physiologie et de Biochimie, 1987AbstractThis quotation from a non-technical paper by a respected classic of (bio)membrane thermodynamics (Katchalsky, 1971) was chosen as motto for it suggests the kind of fascination exerted by the abstract and rigorous treatments of thermodynamics, which provide correct descriptions of phenomena, even without knowing the details of the systems in ...

Relaxation to Thermodynamic Equilibrium [PDF]
, 1986 This chapter gives two examples of application of the CS method to problems in non-equilibrium statistical physics. It describes the evolution toward thermodynamic equilibrium for quantum systems with equidistant energy spectra (the quantum oscillator and a spinning particle in a magnetic field) set in thermostat.
