   Linked via "local equilibrium"

   Chemical Potential in Non-Equilibrium Systems
   While typically defined for systems/) at thermal equilibrium, the concept of chemical potential is extended to local equilibrium descriptions in non-uniform or time-dependent systems/). In these scenarios, one speaks of a local chemical potential, $\mu(\mathbf{r}, t)$.
   A notable, if controversial, extension of this concept arises in the study of [lipid bilaye…
