What changed
Derived symmetry relations between coupled linear irreversible fluxes and forces from microscopic reversibility and connected them to a generalized dissipation function.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact first 1931 Physical Review paper. Part II, Casimir’s extensions, Green–Kubo response relations, nonlinear nonequilibrium thermodynamics and experiments remain separate.
Evidence
The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record is the exact first 1931 Physical Review paper. Part II, Casimir’s extensions, Green–Kubo response relations, nonlinear nonequilibrium thermodynamics and experiments remain separate.
