Classical, Rational and Hamiltonian Formulations of Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics

Abstract

The nineteenth century was the golden age for classical thermodynamics: as this theory concerns essentially systems at equilibrium, we shall refer to it as equilibrium thermodynamics. It was developed by a pleiad of exceptionally brilliant scientists as Carnot, Mayer, Joule, Helmholtz, Clausius, Lord Kelvin, Maxwell, Boltzmann, Gibbs, Planck, Duhem, etc.
