A brief overview of the development from classical linear irreversible thermodynamics to the modern rational thermodynamics with Coleman–Noll and Müller–Liu procedures is presented, emphasizing the basic assumptions and formulation details. The major arguments concerned are the improvement of physical assumptions and mathematical formulation differences. Extended thermodynamics is also briefly commented.

abstract Rigidity matrices for multi-layered media are derived for isotropic and orthotropic layers by a simple direct procedure which brings to light their fundamental mathematical structure. The method was introduced many years ago by the author in the more general context of dynamics and stability of multi-layers under initial stress. Other earlier results are also briefly recalled such as the derivation of three-dimensional solutions from plane strain modes, the effect of initial stresses, gravity, and couple stresses for thinly laminated layers. The extension of the same mathematical structure and symmetry to viscoelastic media is valid as a consequence of fundamental principles in linear irreversible thermodynamics.

Measurements of the transport properties of cellulose membranes for the mixtures methanolwater and formamide-water are reported. The measured approach of the mole fractions of the nonelectrolyte to its equilibrium value are interpreted in the framework of linear irreversible thermodynamics in a novel way. The permeabilities of the membranes of the different substances are discussed in terms of phenomenological coefficients. It is shown that these depend on the equilibrium mole fraction in an essential way. A discussion of this effect is given

In this paper, the methodology of the so-called Linear Irreversible Thermodynamics (LIT) is applied to analyze the properties of an energetic-converting biological process using simple model for an enzymatic reaction that couples one exothermic and one endothermic reaction in the same fashion as Diaz-Hernandez et al. (Physica A, 2010, 389, 3476–3483). We extend the former analysis to consider three different operating regimes; namely, Maximum Power Output (MPO), Maximum Ecological Function (MEF) and Maximum Efficient Power Function (MEPF), respectively. Based on the later, it is possible to generalize the obtained results. Additionally, results show analogies in the optimal performance between the different optimization criteria where all thermodynamic features are determined by three parameters (the chemical potential gap Δ = μ 1 − μ 4 R T , the degree of coupling q and the efficiency η ). This depends on the election that leads to more or less efficient energy exchange.
