Heat and electric conduction in a rigid solid is investigated in the framework of extended irreversible thermodynamics. This allows us to apply directly the original procedure of Onsager to the analysis of the reciprocal relations. A non-local constitutive equation for the heat flux previously...

Information theory yields different predictions for the radiation intensity of nonequilibrium radiative systems, depending on what quantity one identifies with the temperature. A possible experiment is proposed that may, in principle, be used in order to determine whether the generalized...

We generalize a previous proposal of an experiment (J. Fort, D. Jou, J.E. Llebot, Physica A 248 (1998) 97) that, on the basis of predicted corrections to the Planck spectral law, may allow to determine experimentally what quantity is measured by a thermometer in steady-state nonequilibrium...

It is shown that calculations of fluctuations in fluids driven into a stationary state by a temperature gradient are independent of the thermodynamic representation even to nonlinear order in the temperature gradient. The contrast between this result and the conjecture of Garibay-Jiménez and...

The theory of hydrodynamic noise of Landau and Lifshitz is extended by the consideration of correlation times and lengths. We restrict our study to the domain of thermodynamic equilibrium. When the intensity of the fluctuations of a phenomenological model is characterized by a phenomenological...

A thermodynamic entropy is defined in the framework of turbulent theories. The contributions to the entropy of the mean flow and the fluctuant part are independently considered. The thermodynamic interpretation of turbulent heat transport equations with a finite velocity is discussed.

Giving continuation to the study of the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium radiation presented in the preceding article [Physica A 300 (2001) 386], we derive the evolution in time of its macroscopic nonequilibrium state. The case of a semiconductor sample and the coupling of radiation and...

We consider the effect of shear and normal viscous pressures on the non-equilibrium entropy of ideal gases in Couette flow. These results extend the previous ones (Bidar et al., Physica A 233 (1996) 163), where normal pressure effects were ignored. Furthermore, we analyze the non-equilibrium...

A study is performed on the time correlation function for the equilibrium fluctuations of the longitudinal velocity in a compressible, heat insulating fluid, within the context of extended irreversible thermodynamics. The memory function is explicitly computed and shown to obey a double...

Previous thermodynamic analyses of shear-induced shift of the spinodal line in diluted polymer solutions in plane Couette flows are extended here to the entangled regime by using the reptation model. The most significant difference with respect to the dilute regime is a shift of the critical...
