regardless of an extended historical past of virtually one hundred eighty years stretching again to the days of Carnot and, later, Clausius and Lord Kelvin, among others following him, the topic of thermodynamics has now not as but obvious its complete adulthood, within the experience that the speculation of irreversible methods has remained incomplete. The works of L. Onsager, J. Meixner, I. Prigogine at the thermodyn- ics of linear irreversible approaches are, in impact, the early efforts towards the specified objective of giving an sufficient description of irreversible strategies, yet their idea is restrained to near-equilibrium phenomena. The works in recent times by means of a number of learn employees at the extension of the aforem- tioned thermodynamic idea of linear irreversible approaches are extra efforts towards the aim pointed out. the current paintings is one other of such efforts and a contribution to the topic of generalizing the thermodyn- ics of reversible techniques, specifically, equilibrium thermodynamics, to that of irreversible processes—non-equilibrium thermodynamics, with out being limited to linear irreversible techniques. during this context the phrases ‘far - moved from equilibrium’ is usually utilized in the literature, and such states of macroscopic structures and non-linear irreversible phenomena in them are the items of curiosity during this paintings. The thermodynamics of approaches, both reversible or irreversible, is a continuum mechanical thought of topic and effort and their trade among diverse elements of the method, and as such it makes no direct r- erence to the molecules constituting the substance lower than consideration.
