*** N/A ***    
A system is out of equilibrium if the microscopic evolution involves non-conservatives forces, or interactions with external environment, that can be modelled by or identified with dissipative phenomena, which forbid indefinite growth of the system energy. The result is that nonzero currents are generated in the system, with matter or energy flowing, and dissipation being generated. Recently, a growing interest increased about the problems of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, in order to understand how manage irreversibility in order to use them or optimize the human-made systems.
