For binary alloy cooling, the cooling temperation is a range instead of a fixed line.
During the transition (the range), equilibrium of two metals take place at each temperature (temp. decreasing), if the equilibrium finished before going to lower temperature , this is equilibrium cooling. If not, this is the one with the word "non".

Non-equilibrium cooling refers to the process of cooling a system in a manner that does not allow it to reach thermal equilibrium with its surroundings. This often involves rapidly lowering the temperature of the system to induce specific properties or phase transitions that would not occur under equilibrium conditions. Non-equilibrium cooling is used in various scientific and industrial processes to manipulate the behavior of materials.
Non-equilibrium cooling can lead to the formation of metastable phases in metals and alloys, which may not have the same properties as equilibrium phases. This can affect the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of the material. Additionally, non-equilibrium cooling can result in the presence of defects and dislocations in the microstructure, influencing the material's performance under certain conditions.
No, a battery does not represent a system at equilibrium. A battery operates by creating a potential difference between its terminals through chemical reactions, which is a non-equilibrium process as it involves the flow of electrons from one terminal to the other.
When you have one or more things going wrong in a system then the system can't function properly. An example for your non-example would be a plant that does not get enough water, the cells become dehydrated and begin to lose shape, move out of equilibrium and eventually die.
Non-spontaneous processes require intervention or energy input to occur, while spontaneous processes occur on their own without needing external help. Spontaneous processes tend to move towards equilibrium, while non-spontaneous processes move away from equilibrium.
The first condition of equilibrium can be applied on concurrent forces that are equal in magnitude, since these produce translational equilibrium. But if the forces are equal in magnitude but are non concurrent then even first condition of equilibrium is satisfied but torque is produced which does not maintain rotational equilibrium. Hence for complete equilibrium that is, both translational and rotational , both the conditions should be satisfied.
