The maximum entropy formalism is developed to implement a complete description of a dense gas in non-equilibrium situations. Two variational schemes are discussed in this context. The kinetic equations describing the system are consistently closed with the N-particle distribution function...

This paper concerns the behavior of the entropy production in a dense gas. A bound for this quantity is found in terms of the energy conversion rate between particles and Fisher's information integrals describing the system.

We present the study of a dense gas at a hydrodynamical level of description. We start from the entropy functional obtained at a mesoscopic regime (L. Romero-Salazae et al.; Physica A 237 (1997) 150.) (MEF1) and we apply the Maximum Entropy Formalism where the restrictions are now the...
