Non-linear thermodynamic laws application to soil processes

摘要

An attempt has been made to analyze the possibility to use nonequilibrium thermodynamics for the soil dynamic ope n systems treatment. Entropy change of such a system and the entropy coming from or going into the outer sphere. In the steady state, dynamic soil - formation processes occur within an organized structure and are characterized by stable parameters close to e quilibrium. Accordingly, when examining soil, one can proceed from the conventional thermodynamic equilibrium. However, the matter of Onzager - Prigozhin general phenomenological theory applicability to soil processes is more complicated. To study soil stabi lity it is necessary to go beyond the limits of linear thermodynamics.
