Local non-equilibrium models of heat and mass transport processes are considered and shown to form a hierarchy of parabolic and hyperbolic equations whose order increases with deviation from local equilibrium. The basic features of these models, in particular their relationship to generalized irreversible thermodynamics, are discussed.
