Equilibrium (disambiguation)

This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same or a similar title.

Equilibrium is the condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced and it may refer to:

Economics

• Economic equilibrium [r]: A conceptual condition in which the influences that determine the behaviour of a specified variable are in balance, and thus exert no pressure for that variable to increase or decrease. ^[e]
• General equilibrium [r]: A hypothetical state of a set of inter-related markets such that there is no excess supply nor excess demand in any market (see Equilibrium and disequilibrium). ^[e]

Engineering

• Flash evaporation [r]: The partial vaporization that occurs when a saturated liquid stream undergoes a reduction in pressure by passing through a throttling valve or other throttling device. ^[e]

• Equilibrium flash

• Hydrostatic equilibrium [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Mechanical equilibrium [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Theoretical plate [r]: A hypothetical zone or stage in a chemical engineering separation process in which two phases, such as the liquid and vapor phases of a substance, establish an equilibrium with each other. ^[e]

• Equilibrium stage

Mathematics

• Nash equilibrium [r]: A situation in game theory in which no player can improve his position, given the responses of the other players. ^[e]
