Irreversible thermodynamics

Reports on Progress in Physics, 1979
The basic formulations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics are outlined. The local approach to irreversible phenomena is developed both near and far from thermodynamic equilibrium. The possibility of transition phenomena between states removed far away from equilibrium is pointed out and analysed using the methods of bifurcation theory and fluctuation ...

From irreversible thermodynamics to network thermodynamics

The Journal of Membrane Biology, 1972
Whenever the subject of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes TIP is brought up among biologists, there seems to be a very polarized reaction: some have found it a useful tool, others reject it utterly, and for some reason which I do not understand, even fervently.

Stochastic approach to irreversible thermodynamics

Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2017
An extension of classical irreversible thermodynamics pioneered by Ilya Prigogine is developed, in which fluctuations of macroscopic observables accounting for microscopic-scale processes are incorporated. The contribution of the fluctuations to the entropy production is derived from a generalized entropy balance equation and expressed in terms of the ...

Irreversible thermodynamics of multistep transitions

Physical Review E, 2008
Conditions under which the evolution equations of a multivariate system can be cast in a variational form are identified. A kinetic potential generating both the deterministic part of the evolution and the probabilistic properties in a suitably defined set of variables is derived and compared to the thermodynamic potentials. The results are illustrated
