An H-theorem for the Enskog equation of a binary mixture of dissimilar hard spheres

Within the context of a standardlike Enskog theory, we prove the existence of both a global and a local H-theorem for a system consisting of a binary mixture of dissimilar hard spheres.

Sumario:Within the context of a standardlike Enskog theory, we prove the existence of both a global and a local H-theorem for a system consisting of a binary mixture of dissimilar hard spheres. The semipositive character of the entropy production, in addition to previous results on the proof of Onsager's theorem, exhibits the complete compatibility of our theory with linear irreversible thermodynamics.
