Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics—Diffusion and Electrophoresis

In this chapter the formalism of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, is reviewed. This formalism is then applied to the theory of isothermal diffusion and electrophoresis. It is shown that this theory is important in determining the relations between the transport coefficients measured by light scattering and those measured by classical macroscopic techniques. Since much of this material is covered in other chapters, this chapter is very brief. Our presentation closely follows that of Katchalsky and Curran (1965). Other books that can be consulted are those of DeGroot and Mazur (1962) and Prigogine (1955).
