= Non-equilibrium thermodynamics
{wiki=Non-equilibrium_thermodynamics}
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a branch of thermodynamics that deals with systems that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium. While classical thermodynamics primarily focuses on systems at equilibrium where macroscopic properties are well-defined and stable, many real-world processes occur far from equilibrium, involving gradients in temperature, pressure, concentration, or other thermodynamic variables.
