Local equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible systems with thermodynamic inertia
K. S. Glavatskiy
Validity of local equilibrium has been questioned for non-equilibrium systems which are characterized by delayed response. In particular, for systems with non-zero thermodynamic in…

Lagrangian formulation of irreversible thermodynamics, and the second law of thermodynamics
K. S. Glavatskiy
We show that the equations which describe irreversible evolution of a system can be derived from a variational principle. We suggest a Lagrangian, which depends on the properties o…
