Steady state thermodynamics and spatial correlations

Abstract

The formulation of thermodynamic functions based on the statistical distribution of extensive variables at nonequilibrium steady states is reviewed. The case of Couette flow is considered, and the necessity of introducing functionally dependent state functions is discussed. Using these techniques we give a consistent derivation of the equations used by Hanley and Evans to analyze their computer dynamics calculations of homogeneous shear flow. Finally, the connection between thermodynamic state functions and spatial correlations is illustrated for a solution phase chemical reaction scheme.
