General transport equations in dense fluids

The shear viscosity predicted by the Allen-Cole theory of dense fluids prompts a close examination of the relationship between the Allen-Cole and the Prigogine, Nicolis and Misguich theories. As a result linear transport equations relevant to the liquid state are developed which are more general than either theory. Two possible soluble schemes arise, but the solution of these, which is very lengthy, is left to a further publication. The results presented here clarify, in a most striking way, the relationships between the various theories recently put forward for liquid transport. © 1971.SCOPUS: ar.j
