Onsager reciprocal relations proof

From a satisfactory, to a certain extent, explanation based on the second law of the Prigogine theorem we can pass to an absolutely macroscopic explanation of the Onsager reciprocal relations by changing the order of proofs accepted in the nonequilibrium thermodynamics (in the nonequilibrium thermodynamics the Prigogine theorem is derived from the Onsager relations). 

The importance of Onsager s earlier work on coupled diffusional processes was also increasingly appreciated. Onsager had based his proof of force-flux reciprocal relations on the physical principle of detailed balance (as suggested by G. N. Lewis), which rules...
