Abstract
This chapter deals with the microscopic basis for the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of non-ideal fluids. This topic deserves special attention for several reasons: the contributions of the interaction potential to the pressure tensor may be, in some circumstances, more important than the purely kinetic contributions analysed in ideal gases; furthermore, this interaction allows for phase transitions, which may be affected by the non-equilibrium conditions, thus providing experimental possibilities besides those found in ideal gases.
