...Georgy Lebon; Thomas Desaive; Pierre Dauby It is shown that extended irreversible thermodynamics (EIT) provides a unified description of a great variety of processes, including matter diffusion, thermo-diffusion, suspensions, and fluid flows in porous media. This is achieved by enlarging the set...

... on irreversible thermodynamics. Here it is shown that the endochronic theory is closely related to the normality structures with homogeneous kinetic rate laws. In this case, ( 1 ∕ p ) σ can be understood as the thermodynamic force conjugate...
