Mass transport thermodynamics in nonisothermal molecular liquid mixturesa Institute for Biochemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, ul. Kosygina 4, Moscow, 119334, Russian Federation b Department of Chemistry, Boise State University, Boise, Idaho, USA Mass transport in a nonisothermal binary molecular mixture is systematically discussed in terms of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, which for the first time allows a consistent and unambiguous description of the process. The thermodynamic and hydrodynamic approaches are compared, revealing that nonequilibrium thermodynamics and physicochemical hydrodynamics yield essentially the same results for molecular systems. The applicability limits for the proposed version of the thermodynamic approach are determined for large particles.
