Abstract
Abstract In the framework of modified Weyl gravity, we observe the equilibrium picture of the thermodynamical laws for flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker metric with chameleon scalar field and analyze the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics and thermal equilibrium condition for Hubble horizon along with Bekenstien–Hawking entropy. Also, we examine the effective equation of state parameter as well as the square speed of sound. By assuming four different choices of deceleration parameter, we investigate the behavior of equation of state parameter as well as the square speed of sound. The validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics and thermal equilibrium condition is also checked by taking the observational values of the model parameters from CC+ $$H_o$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msub><mml:mi>H</mml:mi><mml:mi>o</mml:mi></mml:msub></mml:math> dataset.
