Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics: Statements and Prospects
2005Extended irreversible thermodynamics has known a wide development during the two last decades. In this work, the main statements of the theory are reviewed and a panoramic view of some of the open problems to be studied in the future years is presented.

Some views on extended irreversible thermodynamics
Acta Physica Hungarica, 1989A brief and concise analysis is presented on the main ideas behind the several efforts made in the past ten years to extend irreversible thermodynamics beyond its linear domain. The Wave Approach to Thermodynamics developed by I. Gyarmati in this context is shown to be a consequence of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, at least for spatially ...

Objectivity, kinetic theory, and extended irreversible thermodynamics
International Journal of Engineering Science, 1988The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to show that extended thermodynamics is in agreement with the kinetic theory of gases, secondly, to conciliate objectivity and the kinetic theory. As an illustration, a one-component viscous fluid at non-uniform temperature is considered.

Fluctuation theory and extended irreversible thermodynamics
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1989Abstract The moments of the fluctuations of dissipative fluxes are used to obtain explicit expressions for the coefficients of a generalized entropy which depends on heat flux and viscous pressure. The results are applied to quantum ideal gases and to classical dilute nonideal gases.

Hydrodynamical fluctuations in extended irreversible thermodynamics
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1980Abstract Starting from the generalized Gibbs equation of extended irreversible thermodynamics, we define a thermodynamic potential that provides a suitable description of the fluctuations of the hydrodynamical dissipative fluxes when it is used in an expression analogous to the classical Einstein formula for the probability of fluctuations.

Extended irreversible thermodynamics of gene regulation
Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2010In this paper we will outline a proposal for an irreversible thermodynamic theory of gene regulation. This theory would allow us to have a proper integration of molecular biophysical data for both, normal and abnormal gene function within the cell, hence enabling biomedical applications.

An evolution criterion and extended irreversible thermodynamics
Open Systems & Information Dynamics, 1998Summary: One of the motivations for extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT) was to obtain hyperbolic equations for the fluxes, which are considered as independent thermodynamic variables. In this paper, a deep comparison of EIT with Prigogine's thermodynamic stability theory is made. It is shown that, for linear systems, EIT can be well-founded by a

On the intrinsic geometric structure of extended irreversible thermodynamics
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2003Summary: We reexamine the geometric structure of extended irreversible thermodynamics in the context of contact geometry. First, we consider the interplay between the contact manifold \((M,\omega)\) with thermodynamic state space \(B_N\) as its base, and the cotangent bundle \(T^*B_N\) equipped with a nondegenerate 2-form \(\Omega= d\omega\).

Generalized Transport Equations and Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008Transport equations incorporating memory and non‐local effects are necessary to describe the response of miniaturized devices submitted to fast perturbations. In general, such equations are not compatible with local equilibrium thermodynamics, but with extended irreversible thermodynamics.
