The most general kind of thermodynamic equilibrium of a system is through contact with the surroundings that allows simultaneous passages of all chemical substances and all kinds of energy. A system in thermodynamic equilibrium may move with uniform acceleration through space but must not change its shape or size while doing so; thus it is defined by a rigid volume in space. It may lie within external fields of force, determined by external factors of far greater extent than the system itself, so that events within the system cannot in an appreciable amount affect the external fields of force. The system can be in thermodynamic equilibrium only if the external force fields are uniform, and are determining its uniform acceleration, or if it lies in a non-uniform force field but is held stationary there by local forces, such as mechanical pressures, on its surface.

一个系统最普遍的热力学平衡是通过与周围环境的接触，允许所有化学物质和各种能量同时通过。热力学平衡中的系统以均匀加速度在空间中运动，但此时不能改变其形状或大小; 因此它是由空间中的刚性体积来定义的。它可能存在于外力场中，由远远大于系统本身的外部因素决定，因此系统内的事件不会对外力场产生相当大的影响。只有当外力场是均匀的，并且确定了它的均匀加速度，或者它处于一个非均匀力场中，但是由于表面的局部力，例如机械压力，使它保持静止时，这个系统才能处于热力学平衡。
Thermodynamic equilibrium is a primitive notion of the theory of thermodynamics. According to P.M. Morse: "It should be emphasized that the fact that there are thermodynamic states, ..., and the fact that there are thermodynamic variables which are uniquely specified by the equilibrium state ... are not conclusions deduced logically from some philosophical first principles. They are conclusions ineluctably drawn from more than two centuries of experiments." This means that thermodynamic equilibrium is not to be defined solely in terms of other theoretical concepts of thermodynamics. M. Bailyn proposes a fundamental law of thermodynamics that defines and postulates the existence of states of thermodynamic equilibrium.

热力学平衡的教科书定义通常被仔细说明，并有些保留。
For example, A. Münster writes: "An isolated system is in thermodynamic equilibrium when, in the system, no changes of state are occurring at a measurable rate." There are two reservations stated here; the system is isolated; any changes of state are immeasurably slow. He discusses the second proviso by giving an account of a mixture oxygen and hydrogen at room temperature in the absence of a catalyst. Münster points out that a thermodynamic equilibrium state is described by fewer macroscopic variables than is any other state of a given system. This is partly, but not entirely, because all flows within and through the system are zero.

例如，A.Münster 写道: “一个孤立的系统处于热力学平衡时期，在这个系统中，状态没有发生可测量的变化。”这里陈述了两个保留意见; 系统是隔离的; 状态的任何更改都极其缓慢。他讨论了第二个限制性条款，给出了在没有催化剂的情况下室温下氧和氢的混合物。明斯特指出，热力学平衡状态比给定系统的其他状态用更少的宏观变量来描述。这是部分的，但不是完全的，因为系统内部和通过系统的所有流都是零。

R. Haase's presentation of thermodynamics does not start with a restriction to thermodynamic equilibrium because he intends to allow for non-equilibrium thermodynamics. He considers an arbitrary system with time invariant properties. He tests it for thermodynamic equilibrium by cutting it off from all external influences, except external force fields. If after insulation, nothing changes, he says that the system was in equilibrium.

R. Haase's的热力学演示并不以热力学平衡为开始，因为他打算考虑非平衡态热力学。他考虑一个具有时不变性质的任意系统。他通过切断除外力场以外的所有外部影响来测试它的热力学平衡。如果在绝缘之后，没有任何变化，他说，系统处于平衡状态。

In a section headed "Thermodynamic equilibrium", H.B. Callen defines equilibrium states in a paragraph. He points out that they "are determined by intrinsic factors" within the system. They are "terminal states", towards which the systems evolve, over time, which may occur with "glacial slowness". This statement does not explicitly say that for thermodynamic equilibrium, the system must be isolated; Callen does not spell out what he means by the words "intrinsic factors".

在一个标题为“热力学平衡”的章节中，H.B. Callen在一段话中定义平衡状态.他指出，它们“是由系统内部的内在因素决定的”。它们是“终端状态” ，随着时间的推移，系统会朝着这个终端状态演化，这种演化可能会以“冰川般缓慢”的速度发生。这个声明并没有明确说明对于热力学平衡来说，系统必须是孤立的; Callen也没有说明他所说的“内在因素”是什么意思。

Another textbook writer, C.J. Adkins, explicitly allows thermodynamic equilibrium to occur in a system which is not isolated. His system is, however, closed with respect to transfer of matter. He writes: "In general, the approach to thermodynamic equilibrium will involve both thermal and work-like interactions with the surroundings." He distinguishes such thermodynamic equilibrium from thermal equilibrium, in which only thermal contact is mediating transfer of energy.

另一位教科书作者，C.J.Adkins，明确地允许热力学平衡在非孤立的系统中发生。然而，他的系统在物质转移方面是封闭的。他写道: “一般来说，热力学平衡的方法将包括与周围环境的热和类似工作的相互作用。”他将这种热力学平衡与只有热接触才能调解能量传递的热平衡相区别。

Another textbook author, J.R. Partington, writes: "(i) An equilibrium state is one which is independent of time." But, referring to systems "which are only apparently in equilibrium", he adds : "Such systems are in states of ″false equilibrium.″" Partington's statement does not explicitly state that the equilibrium refers to an isolated system. Like Münster, Partington also refers to the mixture of oxygen and hydrogen. He adds a proviso that "In a true equilibrium state, the smallest change of any external condition which influences the state will produce a small change of state ..." This proviso means that thermodynamic equilibrium must be stable against small perturbations; this requirement is essential for the strict meaning of thermodynamic equilibrium.

A monograph on classical thermodynamics by H.A. Buchdahl considers the "equilibrium of a thermodynamic system", without actually writing the phrase "thermodynamic equilibrium". Referring to systems closed to exchange of matter, Buchdahl writes: "If a system is in a terminal condition which is properly static, it will be said to be in equilibrium." Buchdahl's monograph also discusses amorphous glass, for the purposes of thermodynamic description. It states: "More precisely, the glass may be regarded as being in equilibrium so long as experimental tests show that 'slow' transitions are in effect reversible." It is not customary to make this proviso part of the definition of thermodynamic equilibrium, but the converse is usually assumed: that if a body in thermodynamic equilibrium is subject to a sufficiently slow process, that process may be considered to be sufficiently nearly reversible, and the body remains sufficiently nearly in thermodynamic equilibrium during the process.

H.A. Buchdahl的一本关于经典热力学的专著考虑了热力学系统的平衡，而实际上并没有写热力学平衡一词。Buchdahl在提到封闭的物质交换系统时写道: “如如果一个系统处于一个适当的静态状态，那么它将被称为处于平衡状态。”出于热力学描述的目的，Buchdahl的专著也讨论了非晶态玻璃。它说: “更准确地说，只要实验测试表明‘慢’跃迁实际上是可逆的，玻璃就可以被认为处于平衡状态。”将这一条件作为热力学平衡定义的一部分并不习惯，而是常常假定相反的情况：如果热力学平衡中的一个体受到足够慢的过程的影响，则该过程可被视为足够接近可逆，并且该物体在过程中足够接近热力学平衡。
A. Münster carefully extends his definition of thermodynamic equilibrium for isolated systems by introducing a concept of contact equilibrium. This specifies particular processes that are allowed when considering thermodynamic equilibrium for non-isolated systems, with special concern for open systems, which may gain or lose matter from or to their surroundings. A contact equilibrium is between the system of interest and a system in the surroundings, brought into contact with the system of interest, the contact being through a special kind of wall; for the rest, the whole joint system is isolated. Walls of this special kind were also considered by C. Carathéodory, and are mentioned by other writers also. They are selectively permeable. They may be permeable only to mechanical work, or only to heat, or only to some particular chemical substance. Each contact equilibrium defines an intensive parameter; for example, a wall permeable only to heat defines an empirical temperature. A contact equilibrium can exist for each chemical constituent of the system of interest. In a contact equilibrium, despite the possible exchange through the selectively permeable wall, the system of interest is changeless, as if it were in isolated thermodynamic equilibrium. This scheme follows the general rule that "... we can consider an equilibrium only with respect to specified processes and defined experimental conditions."

通过引入接触平衡的概念，A. Münster小心地扩展了孤立系统的热力学平衡定义。对于非孤立系统，特别关注开放系统，开放系统可能从周围环境中获得或失去物质，在考虑非孤立系统时允许的特殊过程，这些过程特别关注开放热力学平衡。利益系统和周围系统之间的接触平衡，通过一种特殊的墙与利益系统接触，其余的连接系统是孤立的。这种特殊类型的墙也被'''<font color="#ff8000">C.喀喇西奥多里 C.Carathéodory</font>'''考虑过，其他作家也提到过。它们具有选择性渗透性。它们可能只对机械工作有渗透性，或者只对热有渗透性，或者只对某种特定的化学物质有渗透性。每个接触平衡定义了一个强度参数; 例如，只能透热的壁定义了一个经验温度。对于感兴趣的体系的每一种化学成分，都可以存在接触平衡。在接触平衡中，尽管有可能通过选择性渗透壁进行交换，感兴趣的系统是不变的，好像它是在孤立的热力学平衡。这个方案遵循的一般规则是: “ ... ... 我们只能考虑特定过程和特定实验条件下的平衡。”
