Thermodynamic Systems and State Functions
... Obviously, if multicomponent systems are examined, the concentrations of the different species are also part of the set of state functions needed for defining the system status. Among all the possible states of a system, of particular importance are the “states of equilibrium.” These states have the ...

... molecules. An increase in kinetic energy of molecular translation increases the rate of vaporization and vapor pressure; hence fewer particles tend to condense. The nature (or structure) of the liquid is the other significant factor determining the magnitude of the equilibrium vapor pressure. Since ...

... when the processes within the engine are reversible, that is, both the system and its environment can be returned to exactly the states they were in before the process occurred. In other words, there can be no dissipative forces, like friction, involved in the Carnot cycle of an engine for it to ope ...
