Examples
- The researchers studied nonequilibriums in the chemical reaction to understand how the system evolves over time.
- Nonequilibriums in thermodynamic systems often lead to irreversible processes.
- The physicist's work focused on nonequilibriums in plasma dynamics.
- Living organisms maintain themselves far from nonequilibriums through constant energy input.
