Quasistatic equilibrium

Summary

• Quasistatic equilibrium is the quasi-balanced state of a thermodynamic system near to equilibrium in some sense or degree. A process is called quasi-static when it follows a succession of equilibrium states; the surroundings may be irreversibly altered during the process so that after a return path, the system ends up in a final state which differs from its initial state.
