Phys. Rev. 91, 1512–1515 (1953)Fluctuations and Irreversible Process. II. Systems with Kinetic EnergyReceived 13 May 1953; published in the issue dated September 1953 The results of the previous paper are extended to second-order systems, i.e., systems with inertia. Using a generalized definition of the thermodynamic forces, reciprocal relations for the dissipative coefficients in the equations describing irreversible processes are derived. A dissipation function can again be defined, and it can again be used to express the probability functional for fluctuations. © 1953 The American Physical Society URL:
