Equilibrium

Equilibrium conditions
  • The state of a body or physical system that is at rest or inconstant and unchanging conditions.
  • Means equilibrium is a state of balance.
  • To understand equilibrium let a simple example of a see-saw.
  • If two persons having almost equal weight, sit on opposite sides of the see-saw and their distances from center point are same , then the see-saw would not be tilted.

  • It is define as equilibrium condition of mass.

Application of Equilibrium conditions in various engineering fields.
  • Equilibrium implies the object is at rest (static) or its center of mass moves with a constant velocity (dynamic).
  • Static equilibrium is a common situation in engineering.
  • Principles involved are of particular interest to civil engineers, architects, and mechanical engineers.
  • In chemistry by the help of equilibrium we can study the phase diagrams and analyse boiling points, melting points, freezing points, triple pressure and temperatures of any component.
  • For water the phase diagrams are shown
  • 2 D phase diagrams



3 D phase diagrams

  • In chemistry it also useful to study the reversible and irreversible reactions.
  • The condition existing when a chemical reaction and its reverse reaction proceed at equal parts.
