Demonstration of Onsager reciprocal relations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the demonstration of Onsager reciprocal relations, specifically referencing Lars Onsager's original 1931 paper. The participant seeks additional resources, such as textbooks or articles, that provide detailed explanations of these relations. A recommended resource is "Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics" by S. R. de Groot and P. Mazur, published by Dover, which is noted for its clarity in explaining these concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics principles
  • Familiarity with Onsager reciprocal relations
  • Knowledge of non-equilibrium systems
  • Basic grasp of mathematical modeling in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Onsager reciprocal relations" in advanced thermodynamics textbooks
  • Study "Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics" by S. R. de Groot and P. Mazur
  • Explore peer-reviewed articles that analyze Onsager's original work
  • Investigate applications of Onsager relations in modern physics
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in physics, particularly those focusing on thermodynamics and non-equilibrium systems, will benefit from this discussion.

Hello everyone,

I am working on the Onsager reciprocal relations, more precisely on the demonstration of those relations. I try to understand the Onsager original paper (1931) but it's really not easy (although he says that the examples are "extremely simple"). I was wondering if any of you knew a good textbook that demonstrates those relations or maybe an article that follows the original paper with more details.

Thank you for your help!
