Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Open Systems

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics II

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Synergetics ((SSSYN,volume 59))

Abstract

When dealing with the general theory of open systems we do our best to bring out the parallelism and analogy between the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open systems and the thermodynamics of conventional closed systems. Admittedly, the analogy should not be carried too far, since in the theory of open systems the important fundamental principle of time-reversal invariance does not exist. Therefore, in the case of open systems there are fewer FDRs than before, and they are not so effective. There is only one linear relation, one quadratic FDR and one cubic FDR.
