Entropy production and Onsager reciprocal relations describing the relaxation to equilibrium in stochastic thermodynamics

Résumé

We study the relation between stochastic thermodynamics and non-equilibrium thermodynamics by evaluating the entropy production and the relation between fluxes and forces in a harmonic system with N particles in contact with N different reservoirs. We suppose that the system is in a non-equilibrium stationary state in a first phase and we study the relaxation to equilibrium in a second phase. During this relaxation, we can identify the linear relation between fluxes and forces satisfying the Onsager reciprocity and we obtain a nonlinear expression for the entropy production. Only when forces and fluxes are small, the entropic production turns into a quadratic form in the forces, as predicted by the Onsager theory.
