Approach to Thermodynamic Equilibrium: Open Systems

Description

This lecture explores the concept of chemical potential and its application in describing the approach to thermodynamic equilibrium in systems composed of two phases. It covers the derivation of the open system equation, the conditions for thermal, mechanical, and chemical equilibrium, and the extension of the Gibbs free energy definition to open systems.
