Attempts are made to give phenomenological reasons for nonlinear Casimir-Onsager reciprocal relations. The fluxes can be defined as time derivations of state variables, or they can be explained by means of balance equations, because only their vectorial properties are used. At first, time reversal is replaced by an abstract parameter reversal from which involutoric transformations of forces and fluxes result. The connection between the parameter reversal of forces and fluxes allows to give reasons for relations which are equal to the Casimir-Onsager reciprocal relations apart from a sign. This sign is determined by experience. The connection between parameter and time reversal is discussed.

Time reversal invariance (TRI) of particles systems has many consequences, among which the celebrated Onsager reciprocal relations, a milestone in Statistical Mechanics dating back to 1931. Because for a long time it was believed that (TRI) dos not hold in presence of a magnetic field, a modification of such relations was proposed by Casimir in 1945. Only in the last decade, the strict traditional notion of reversibility that led to Casimir’s work has been questioned. It was then found that other symmetries can be used, which allow the Onsager reciprocal relations to hold without modification. In this paper we advance this investigation for classical Hamiltonian systems, substantially increasing the number of symmetries that yield TRI in presence of a magnetic field. We first deduce the most general form of a generalized time reversal operation on the phase space of such a system; secondly, we express sufficient conditions on the magnetic field which ensure TRI. Finally, we examine common examples from statistical mechanics and molecular dynamics. Our main result is that TRI holds in a much wider generality than previously believed, partially explaining why no experimental violation of Onsager relations has so far been reported.

The conditions sufficient for a phenomenological derivation of non-linear Casimir-Onsager reciprocal relations are restated and discussed. The main assumption is that systems can be combined without restriction. The time-reversal is identified with the parameter-inversion of the thermodynamical forces. In a supplement non-linear reciprocal relations are expanded in components, and their validity is shown for the non-linear case if the forces depend on each other.

In this paper, the anti-gravity flow in the spiral micro-channel on the surface of horizontal tube was visualized by the three-dimensional ultra-microscope system. The coupling relationship between the driving force and the flow was studied by Onsager reciprocal relations. The results show that the formation of the anti-gravity flow in the spiral micro-channel on the surface of horizontal tube is impacted by the combining effect of several factors, such as the capillary pressure, wettability, temperature, and bubbles.

The study of hydro-thermal-mechanical process coupling in unsaturated porous material is very important due to its close relationship with environmental geomechanics engineering. The model established upon the deforming porous material mechanics is analyzed in this study. This model takes into consideration the phase change and heat effects. Four balance equations associated with four state variables including gas pressure, capillary pressure, temperature and displacement are imposed. Besides, the governing equations are discretized with the selected Galerkin method and the program has been developed. Using this program simulates two experiments, which representing the saturated non-isothermal consolidation phenomenon and rainfall experiment respectively. The results revealed that this multi-field coupled model is a useful tool to analyze the porous material that coupled with hydro-thermal-mechanical process.
