Abstract
In this article, a review is presented of the thermodynamic theory of irreversible processes, based on the Clausius inequality representative of the literal forms of the second law of thermodynamics as stated by Kelvin and Clausius. Generalized hydrodynamic equations in conformation to the law are presented for transport processes in fluids removed far from equilibrium. They generalize the Navier–Stokes–Fourier hydrodynamics to flows of nonlinear irreversible processes.
