Equilibrium thermodynamics is a branch of thermodynamics that deals with systems in a state of equilibrium, where macroscopic properties such as temperature, pressure, and volume remain constant over time. In this state, the driving forces that cause changes within the system (like gradients in temperature or chemical potential) are balanced, and there are no net flows of matter or energy within the system.
