The maximum-entropy formalism is used here as a basis of a thermodynamic description of ideal gases under shear. We have obtained expressions for the entropy and the equations of state in nonequilibrium steady states characterized by a given shear viscous pressure and have identified in physical...

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...

The expressions for the nonequilibrium temperature derived from the fluctuation–dissipation theorem and from the differential of the informational nonequilibrium entropy for ideal gases under shear flow are compared. Both temperatures are different, in particular, the thermodynamic temperature...

It is shown that the identification of the Lagrange multiplier conjugated to the viscous pressure tensor that was proposed in a previous paper [Physica A 233 (1996) 163–174] on information theory applied to fluids under flow yields for the orientational distribution function of dilute dumbbell...

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...

In a recent paper by Gaspard et al. [Physica A 323 (2003) 294] it was shown in detail that the Lorentz diffusive gas is compatible with irreversible thermodynamics at the local-equilibrium level of description. In this short note we point out that this compatibility with irreversible...

An in-depth study of the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium radiation is presented. The characterization of its nonequilibrium macroscopic state is performed in the framework of Informational Statistical Thermodynamics. This is done in terms of a nonequilibrium Dirac–Landau–Wigner single...

In nonequilibrium systems in the ballistic transport regime, every point of the system contains particles arriving from different regions–each of them at different temperatures–and there are only few collisions, in such a way that equilibrium between the different populations will be reached...

In the presence of strong external fields the Einstein relation between diffusion coefficient and friction coefficient must be modified, and it becomes dependent on the fields. We study how this transport relation should be generalized far from equilibrium for some particular forms of...

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...
