Nonequilibrium thermodynamics: emergent and fundamental

Statistical Mechanics 2021-03-17 v1

Abstract

How can we derive the evolution equations of dissipative systems? What is the relation between the different approaches? How much do we understand the fundamental aspects of a second law based framework? Is there a hierarchy of dissipative and ideal theories at all? How far can we reach with the new methods of nonequilibrium thermodynamics?
