| 41. | The value of the state variable crisply defines the current state of the system at any given time.
|
| 42. | The change in the state of the system can be seen as a path in this state space.
|
| 43. | Continuous simulations are usually modelled using differential equations that track the state of the system with reference to time.
|
| 44. | Thus the need for simplified models that still successfully predict the thermodynamic state of the system, such as UNIFAC.
|
| 45. | Altitude can help specify the location of a system, but that does not describe the state of the system.
|
| 46. | When this happens, one needs to introduce one or more extra variables to describe the state of the system.
|
| 47. | This is due to the above fact, that a measurement can change the underlying ontic state of the system.
|
| 48. | An ideal thermometer is a thermometer which does not measurably change the state of the system it is measuring.
|
| 49. | The stable stationary state has a local maximum of entropy and is locally the most reproducible state of the system.
|
| 50. | Switchgear is often inspected using thermal imaging to assess the state of the system and predict failures before they occur.
