Hi, I am taking a thermodynamics course but I am confused when my teacher told me that "the temperature of a non-equilibrium system is undefined".
but as I know, in microscopic world, temperature measures the average kinetic energy of a system, and this seems to be inconsistent with the previous statement.
Can anybody point out the mistakes I have made? Thank you!
