A model for symmetries in nonlinear transport

A model for a Rayleigh particle suspended in a rarefied gas in internal equilibrium is constructed. It is shown that the macroscopic evolution of this system can be described by using nonlinear unilateral transfer flows which are gradients of particular scalar functions. These functions are constructed according to a general theory of nonlinear irreversible processes proposed previously by van Kampen.
