The goal of the work isn't about something being fulfilled but about setting out to find perfect symmetry, true equilibrium.
2.
England was not offering to also freely open its markets up to the Ottoman Empire, so markets could never come to a true equilibrium.
3.
In practice, however, the coexistence of more phases than allowed by the phase rule normally means that the phases are not all in true equilibrium.
4.
The length of fibre required to attain true equilibrium is now much greater than the length of practical multimode transmission systems, which makes the term effectively obsolete.
5.
The Emperor does not believe that the greatness of a country depends upon the weakness of the nations which surround it, and he sees a true equilibrium only in the satisfied aspirations of the nations of Europe.
6.
Although " H d " and " S d " are not true equilibrium thermodynamic parameters and can depend on the cooling rate of a melt they can be found from available experimental data on viscosity of amorphous materials.
7.
For example, one widely cited writer, H . B . Callen writes in this context : " In actuality, few systems are in absolute and true equilibrium . " He refers to radioactive processes and remarks that they may take " cosmic times to complete, [ and ] generally can be ignored ".
8.
He adds a proviso that " In a true equilibrium state, the smallest change of any external condition which influences the state will produce a small change of state . . . " This proviso means that thermodynamic equilibrium must be stable against small perturbations; this requirement is essential for the strict meaning of thermodynamic equilibrium.
