20.8 CONCLUDING REMARKS
This chapter has extended ‘thermodynamics’ into a truly dynam ic arena. The proce sses involved are
nonequilibrium ones which are in a steady, dynamic state. The concepts of entropy generation and
coupled phenomena have been introduced, and Onsager’s reciprocal relationship has been used to
enable the latter to be analysed.
Thermoelectric phenomena have been considered and the coupling between them has been described.
The major thermoelectric effects have been defined in terms of the thermodynamics of the device. Coupled
diffusion and heat transfer processes have been introduced and analysed using these techniques, and the
conj ...
