The Macroscopic Theory of Irreversibility
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the Onsager theory of the approach to equilibrium of isolated systems under non-uniform conditions is presented, where the whole system is treated as being made up of macroscopic but small sub-systems, which can be described in terms of the same variables as are needed in equilibrium.

A note on the relation between the hypothesis of local equilibrium and the Clausius-Duhem inequality
TL;DR: De Gruyter as discussed by the authors distinguishes between quantities defined in the concrete physical space and those defined in abstract state space, and points out that the consequences of this distinction are treated differently in the formalism of Rational Thermodynamics and under the assumption of local equilibrium.

A Thermodynamic Basis for Predicting Falling-Film Mode Transitions
Xiaofei Wang,Anthony M. Jacobi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic analysis is undertaken to predict the transitions between two-phase heat exchanger flow patterns by seeking the condition corresponding to thermodynamic equilibrium between two neighboring modes, a scaling relation is developed for the transitional Reynolds number.

Chemistry and the Environment
TL;DR: This article presented the chemistry of the environment using the full strength of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, in addition to the necessary mathematics and physics, and provided a broad yet thorough description of the environmental and the environmental impact of human activity using scientific principles.
