Irreversible Thermodynamics

Irreversible Thermodynamics is a branch of thermodynamics that studies systems undergoing irreversible processes characterized by entropy production and the breakdown of time-reversal symmetry, distinguishing it from reversible thermodynamics by its focus on nonequilibrium states and dissipative effects.
