Abstract
In the present paper, the theory of cross phenomena (TCP) proposed by the present author is revised by starting from the first law of thermodynamics instead of the combined law of thermodynamics in the previous publication because the potentials in the latter are not independent of each other. TCP aims to derive the flux equations with respect to independent driving forces from the fundamental laws of thermodynamics rather than the phenomenological Onsager flux equations, which are flawed as shown by the revised TCP.
